We Speak - Programme

Develop speaking confidence and mentoring skills for
Student Ambassadors

GET IN TOUCH
We Speak builds speaking confidence and mentoring skills for Student Ambassadors from WP backgrounds.

We run a 4-week online programme where more experienced Ambassadors are trained as Peer Mentors and share their skills with less confident Ambassadors, boosting confidence by an average 40%.

Ambassadors get a mentor from a top employer like Investec, Just Eat, Google General Electric or Wavemaker. Participants receive a Certificate of Achievement.

We've worked with universities including Goldsmiths University of London, UCL, Queen Mary University of London, University of East London and University of Sussex.

Feedback from Corporate Mentors

Advice from Peer Mentors

Peer Mentors are experienced Student Ambassadors who have been through the same journey.
