Brookes runs mentoring schemes in different subject areas, matching each student with a senior figure from industry who provides careers guidance.
As part of the Bacchus mentoring programme, Niovi was teamed with the Head of Human Resources at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons - Raymond Blanc’s Oxfordshire-based restaurant and hotel. “When I started applying for graduate level jobs Jenny helped me with my CV and covering letter. She also gave me good advice on how to sell myself to potential employers.”
A wide range of industry employers also gave careers talks. They include global groups like Four Seasons, IHG (International Hotel Group), and Firmdale Hotels where Niovi will be starting her graduate training programme. “I really liked their combination of high quality luxury service and their desire to give their guests a personalised, home-beyond-home experience.”
