STEM Ambassadors Scotland Hub alongside the Scottish Mentoring Network has created a brand-new free training opportunity for ambassadors to develop their mentoring skills and knowledge.
This 3 part course will help ambassadors develop and strengthen their mentoring skills allowing you to successfully mentor students throughout their learning journey.
