Class Mentor (Day Programmes) (Launch Pad at St Peter-Exeter)

Class Mentor volunteers support young people to develop their financial and enterprise skills within our one-day school-based programmes. Volunteers help to facilitate a group of young people across varied age groups to undertake pre-designed tasks, and share their own experiences to help bring the activities to life.

What do students do during a Launch Pad session?

Through a series of hands on, fun activities students will engage in a number of sessions during the day where they will discover the importance of key skills for business, workplace and future lives in general. Working in small teams, students will participate in a competitive business challenge where they work on the early stages of launching a fledgling business. They will use key employability skills and get the chance to develop new ones.
