Uni Connect - Linking London Update

The main focus of delivery for the young targeted team this month has been initial one to one meetings with Year 12/Year 1 learners. We now have the two latest mentoring schemes up and running, with most mentees matched with a mentor and already having interesting and valuable conversations about their future plans.

Our Student Finance webinar was a great success, with 159 attendees from all five of our sixth form and colleges. 60% of the attendees were parents and the rest students. The recording can be accessed at https://youtu.be/jEhkrIZX2pA so please do take a look or send it on to anyone you think may be interested. Building on the popularity of this session, we have plans to deliver a similar event on the topic of Higher and Degree Apprenticeships on 20 April, and anyone interested can register for that here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3JdUddPYSEKjZeFIL1ftig.

We are also looking at delivery of the National Citizen Service 'Skills Booster' programme. These group sessions would be delivered in person by a facilitator, with engagement coordinators selecting the themes which are most suited to their learners such as Employability, Skills for Independent Living, Careers and Progression and Health and Wellbeing. We hope this will be delivered in the summer term.

Adult learner and strategic outreach strand update
FE partners can request support with outreach activity for adult learners by filling in this form: Spring/Summer term brokerage support for adult learners - support request form. This might take the form of student finance workshops, revision advice, or transition support. We will reach out to HE partners to fill the request.
Also, a reminder that our monthly bulletin goes out on the 24th of each month. You can subscribe here, see March’s issue here, and FE and HE partners who wish to advertise any upcoming events are encouraged to email Jess to ensure they are included.
