Taking your mentees out
Work related trips
We hope to take full advantage of the large network of mentors that are on the programme, so if any of your students want to meet someone doing a particular job then please let us know. We will try and put you in contact with someone who could spare some time to tell your students about their work.
Here are some examples of people with whom we could put you in touch or places you could visit. Please give us a call and we will do our best to put you in touch so that you can arrange a meeting.
London City Airport
Royal Docks, London, E16 2BP
London City Airport is one of the UK’s smallest Airports, which caters for primarily business travel to and from major domestic and European cities. The Airport features all the components of a major airport, such as a fire service, air traffic control, hospitality and a Business centre.
We can send information about the airport and it is fine to wander around the terminal and watch the aircraft. It may also be possible to arrange a tour around the airport behind the scenes. However, this is subject to the airport’s approval. Contact NEBP.
Thames Barrier Park
The Pavilion, Thames Barrier Park, Barrier Point Road (Off North Woolwich Rd), London, E16 2HP
Thames Barrier Park is the first major public parkland project for over 50 years. The Daily Telegraph launched a competition to design the gardens on the north bank of the Thames overlooking the Thames barrier. The gardens have an Anglo-French theme, and there is also a newly designed pavilion to sit and look out over the park. Admission is free.
