Student Coaches are current Technologies students who provide academic and mentoring support to students on programmes delivered at the Cardiff School of Technologies (CST).

Our Coaches

This network of coaches has helped build our community, giving students a go-to person who is always approachable and who can offer relevant advice based on their experiences within the school.

Our coaches are available Monday to Friday in our communal study and social spaces like Nexus. They are easy to spot in their bright yellow t-shirts and navy hoodies.

“Five months into my role as a student coach, I’ve had the opportunity to offer the same support that once helped me. In reflecting on my journey, I’ve realised how much the challenges I faced as a first-year student have shaped the way I approach coaching.”

“The Student Coach shifts caught me off guard, I went in expecting to help other students and got as much back, often finishing a shift and going straight to my own work on their energy.”

Caitlin Owens

BSc (Hons) Computer Security

“As a Student Coach, I get to mentor first-year students and assist on open days. I always describe our role as being like older siblings to the younger years—offering a friendly, guiding hand.”
