Case Study: Bath Spa University bridges the gap to work with PushFar mentoring software

Bath Spa University achieves 100% positive mentoring feedback with PushFar

Bath Spa University, a public university with over 8,000 students, faced significant challenges in running its mentoring program. The careers team struggled with the time-consuming manual matching of students to industry professionals using spreadsheets and found it difficult to recruit enough mentors. They also needed a secure way to facilitate remote connections during the pandemic. To address these issues, the university sought a solution from mentoring platform vendor PushFar.

Using PushFar's mentoring software, Bath Spa University streamlined its 'MentorMe' program. The solution provided an all-in-one platform with admin-led matching and secure video calling, enabling formal and remote mentoring relationships. The results were highly successful, with the program growing to 164 mentees and 80 mentors and receiving 100% positive feedback from students. Due to this popularity, the initiative was expanded to all second and third-year students, and PushFar's reporting tools now help the university demonstrate the program's success.
