Matching underway

Many thanks to all of the mentoring applicants. I am currently working my way through each student application, and will be in contact with everyone shortly.

2011 Mentoring Scheme | Deadline extended

The application closing date has been extended until Monday 18 July.

The 2011 SYP Mentoring Scheme

The 2011 SYP Mentoring Scheme is now open, and I encourage applications from members who have a specific career goal in mind which could be facilitated through 1 to 1 mentoring with an industry professional.

Please submit your application via the entry page -- http://www.thesyp.org.uk/mentoring/reg.php -- with 100 words on what your goal is, and how a mentor could assist you. Please be as specific as possible in terms of the area your interest/goal lies within e.g. STM, trade, children's.

Q&A | Getting into publishing

On Monday 4 July, between 1--4pm, there will be a live Q&A session via the Guardian Careers website centred around the routes into the publishing industry and the traditional career roles.
