Continuing our ongoing relationship with Canon and the Creative Mentor Network, our Year 14 students were recently presented with a unique opportunity to meet their mentor from Canon. This partnership marks a significant milestone for our students, providing them with access to invaluable resources, mentorship, and career insights.

The collaboration kicked off with an inspiring session led by Amelia Wood and Samuel Conley, where students were tasked with envisioning their future goals. The students delved deep into their aspirations, which would later help them have meaningful discussions with their assigned mentors.

The aim of the Canon mentoring scheme is to foster the strong connections between Global Academy students and industry experts. Through mentorship, students gain not only guidance but also a glimpse into the realities of the professional world. This mentorship goes beyond the classroom, offering students a real-world perspective on the creative media industry.

For many students, this marks the beginning of a transformative journey. With mentors by their side, they have the opportunity to refine their skills, fine-tune their CVs, and adapt to the ever-evolving demands of the industry. The mentorship programme will not only support but will empower students to navigate the professional world with confidence and clarity.

The significance of this collaboration extends far beyond the realms of classwork. It underscores the importance of forging partnerships that bridge the gap between education and industry. By bringing together future experts and current expertise, we create a steady ground for innovation, growth, and success.

As students embark on this unique journey, they carry with them the invaluable lessons gleaned from their mentors. With each interaction, students inch closer towards their aspirations, with knowledge, determination, and a commitment to success.

In the halls of Global Academy, a new chapter unfolds—It isn’t rare for these unique experiences to happen at Global Academy, we aim for all our students to graduate with potential and endless opportunities. As our students forge ahead on their journeys, they do so with the support of mentors who believe in their dreams, nurture their talents, and champion their success.
