Today marked an exciting milestone for the Queen Mary students and their mentors from Inverto in the Pathfinder Programme, as they stepped into Inverto’s London offices for their half day office experience. Today’s in-office session was carefully designed by Inverto to give the mentees a taster of the day in the life at a leading consultancy firm, with the session focusing on a number of core topics and activities, including mentoring sessions, CV writing and a Q+A panel.

The energy in the room on Friday was palpable, and the mentors were impressed by the curiosity, drive, and thoughtfulness of the students they met.
