For universities

Career access for every student.

Some students graduate with a network. Most do not. mentorhero gives every student on your campus a 30-minute session with a professional already working in the field they want.

1 in 3

students say they have never spoken to anyone working in the career they are studying for.

76%

of young people say a single conversation changed how they saw their options.

Build your programme

Pick the size of the cohort. We shape everything else around it.

The same 30-minute session sits underneath all three. What changes is how it launches, who holds it on your side and what you can report at the end of the year.

2,500 studentsMulti faculty

Several faculties at once, each with their own mentor mix so a law student and an engineer do not meet the same adviser.

Best when placements and graduate outcomes sit across departments.

What we launch

  • A booking page per faculty with its own mentor pool
  • Two Academy filming days a year with co-branded content
  • Freshers and finals campaign moments planned with you

What your team holds

  • A contact per faculty, roughly an hour a term each
  • Nothing to administer, match or schedule
What you can report

Faculty level take up, topics and confidence, plus quarterly reviews.

What students talk about

The questions a prospectus cannot answer.

Every session is 30 minutes with a working professional, so students leave with a next step rather than a reading list.

  • Breaking into an industry
  • Interview preparation
  • Choosing a course or degree
  • First jobs and internships
  • Placements and graduate schemes
  • Confidence and imposter feelings
  • Salary and negotiation
  • Building a network

Why partner with mentorhero

Partner with us and your careers team gains capacity, not work.

You do not build a platform, recruit mentors or chase feedback. You point students at a booking link, and the sessions, safeguarding and reporting run behind it.

Tell us your cohort size and we will size a pilot you can run this term.

  • Reach the students careers teams miss

    Students who never book a careers appointment will take 30 minutes with someone doing the job they want.

  • Employability evidence you can report

    Sessions, hours, topics and destinations come back as figures for internal review and rankings work.

  • Industry access without a fair

    Your students meet professionals in the markets they are aiming at, all year, not one afternoon in October.

  • No new system for your team

    Matching, safeguarding, scheduling and reporting sit with us. Your side is a link and a mention in comms.

WHAT A COHORT GETS

Industry access, without building a scheme.

Students book a professional in the field they are aiming at. Your team keeps the reporting, not the admin.

  • 01Every student, not a shortlistOpen to the whole cohort, including the ones who never book a careers appointment.
  • 02Real industry voicesWorking professionals, checked, in the sectors your students are applying to.
  • 03Reporting built inSessions, topics and reach, in a form that fits graduate outcome reviews.

WHO ACTUALLY GETS SEEN

Careers appointments reach a fraction of a cohort.

A careers team of six cannot see 2,000 finalists. Thirty-minute sessions with working professionals can, and the students who never book an appointment are the ones who take them.

Questions

Everything a careers team usually asks.

Working professionals from across industries and around the world. Every mentor volunteers 30 minutes at a time and is matched to the student question they are best placed to answer.

Students tell us the industry, role or question they care about, and we match them with a mentor already working in that area rather than a generic adviser.

Very little. mentorhero handles matching, scheduling and reporting. Your team keeps the student relationship and sees everything through the dashboard.

Yes. Career access 500 is built as a faculty pilot, and you can move up to a wider plan at any time.

Students book straight from your branded page, pick a 30-minute slot that suits them and join the call in the browser. No app or paperwork.

You get a real-time dashboard, quarterly business reviews and a public impact page you can use in bids, prospectuses and annual reports.

Sessions booked and completed, the topics students raise, faculty level breakdowns and student confidence before and after each session.

Plans run for a 24 month minimum term, then roll monthly with 60 days notice.

Yes. You can move up to a larger plan at any point in the term and we only charge the difference from that date.

Next step

Give every student someone to ask.

Tell us the size of your cohort and we will show you what career access looks like on your campus.

In their words

Careers teams on the pilot

Our employability figures were fine. Our reach into the students who needed it most was not.
Dr Alison F.Head of careers
Students booked it because it was 30 minutes and it was not with us.

The reporting told me which faculties were engaging and which were not, in one screen.

Before you ask

Running this on campus

How long does a pilot take to launch?

A faculty pilot is normally live within a term, because there is no integration work required to start.

Does it replace our careers service?

No. It gives your team capacity by handling the one-off questions that do not need an appointment.

What reporting do we get?

Sessions, hours, topics and engagement by faculty, in a dashboard you can share with your own stakeholders.
