Why become a student ambassador?
Student Ambassadors get paid to be involved with a variety of College and community events, giving you the chance to practice new skills such as public speaking, organisation, signposting and social skills. You'll have access to free training courses to build up your CV and your confidence, while working with a dynamic and enthusiastic team.
Of course, one of the biggest benefits of becoming a student ambassador is that you get paid! Hours can vary from fixed to flexible depending on requirement.
