ELAM Mentors
Thank you for your interest in mentoring a young person at ELAM this year. We are dedicated to ensuring that our talented trainees have the chance to access the creative industries and we genuinely believe that your support will be a key factor in ensuring that they are industry ready. Our programme focuses on supporting our trainees into their next steps post ELAM whether this means supporting them to feel comfortable applying for jobs or funding for their projects or supporting them to structure their lives around their goals as creatives.

ELAM is an incredible institution. I am constantly in awe of the student’s talents and facilities available to them, I wish it had existed when I was 18!
For the students who develop their skills over the course of two years at ELAM, the future is incredibly bright – the mentor programme really emphasises this. Not having personally experienced mentoring when I first started in the music industry, I have learnt to appreciate the mutual benefits that arise between both mentors and mentee – highly recommend.

Deciding to become a mentor at ELAM was important to me because growing up I never liked being told what to do. I’ve always been the person who likes to make their own mistakes & learn from them. However – a friend with more knowledge than you is invaluable (this applies to people of all ages tbh)
ELAM is already an incredible place for anyone interested in arts & music and of course the industry. My aim is to give the trainees that additional bit of knowledge that they might need so they can learn, make mistakes & make their ambitions reality – a lot quicker than I did.
