Oppidan Education Futures Programme

The Oppidan Education Futures Programme pairs students (aged 17+) with experienced mentors to provide personalised career guidance, confidence-building and practical support as they plan life after school. Mentors come from a wide range of backgrounds and the programme focuses on helping students gain clarity on course choices, potential career paths and next steps.

Participants choose from modular topics including resilience and reframing setbacks, communication and interview skills, networking and relationship-building, self-presentation and crafting a compelling digital identity. Sessions are tailored to each student’s goals and may include support with CVs, online profiles and application preparation.

Mentoring is delivered mainly online, with in-person visits available for London-based families. Typical journeys meet weekly and can run for short (around 3 weeks) or longer (around 12 weeks) programmes.

Families are asked to complete a short enquiry form and a client manager will contact them to discuss mentor matching and a personalised plan.
