Ada Coaching Programme

Transform a student’s life through mentoring

What is the Ada Coaching Programme?

At Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, our mission is to educate and empower the next generation of diverse digital talent.

The Ada Coaching Programme pairs volunteers with an Ada student for one-to-one coaching throughout their sixth form journey. By sharing your experience and insights, you can play a meaningful role in helping a young person prepare for a successful career in the digital sector.

As a coach, you’ll support a student by sharing your career journey, offering real-world industry insight, helping them develop essential professional and communication skills, and building their confidence and professional networks so they feel they belong and can thrive in the workplace.

Coaching is a rewarding experience for both students and volunteers. You’ll have the opportunity to make a lasting difference to a young person’s future while developing your own mentoring and leadership skills.

How does this benefit students?

 – Build confidence and self-belief.

 – Make informed decisions about their post-Ada pathways and future career options.
