At Francis Holland, through a planned programme of Careers Education, Information and Guidance, the Careers Department aims to help every girl to develop the skills and abilities to realise her full potential and play an effective and rewarding role in wider society.
Alumni can support the school by supporting our Careers Department and becoming a Careers Champion. Champions provide a range of opportunities for pupils and fellow alumni, including: mentoring, interview practice, work experience opportunities, lectures, network contacts and judging school competitions. Our Champions cover a diverse range of industries and we are always looking for more, so volunteer today!

Mentees are alumni or pupils who benefit from the experience and guidance of a mentor who has knowledge of a particular industry or subject. The mentor may also be a student who is able to support a pupil through the university application process. Mentees are provided the opportunity to take responsibility for managing their own career development.
