LGBTQ+ Uni-Amex Mentoring

LGBTQ+ Uni-Amex mentoring programme is a professional-to-student mentoring programme delivered jointly by the University of Brighton Careers Service and the Pride Network at American Express®.

University of Brighton and University of Sussex students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, queer and all sexualities, genders and identities that fall under the plus (LGBTQ+) are paired with professionals from the LGBTQ+ Pride Network in American Express who are trained to support you in working towards your goals and building confidence.

Due to the COVID-19 situation, all our mentoring programmes are being delivered virtually using tools such as FaceTime, MS Teams, Zoom, Skype or WhatsApp.

Applications for the programme are now open.
