PACE mentoring opportunities for students with a disability or mental health condition
21 June, 2021
Positive Action towards Career Engagement (PACE) connects students with disability with mentors from leading businesses.
Applications are open for the PACE program offered by the Australian Network on Disability (AND). The aim of this program is to give participants a range of skills, experiences and advice about the workforce.
The program is a four-month commitment during which time the mentors and mentees will meet approximately 8 times. Mentees benefit from accessing the mentor’s accumulated knowledge and expertise, and being guided in their professional development and goal setting. Mentees may also work on interview techniques, resumes and putting together an impressive cover letter.
Mentors belong to a range of professional backgrounds from organisations including:
- ANZ Bank
- Nestle
- SBS
- IBM
- Gilbert + Tobin
- Department of Finance
- Accenture
- Bendigo & Adelaide Bank
- Melbourne Water
- Arup Group
- Court Services Queensland

Mentoring opportunities are in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth & Adelaide. There are also some virtual mentoring opportunities for students based in other locations across Australia.
