For companies and organisations

Put your team's experience to work where it matters.

List employees as mentors, sponsor a school talk, or fund a term of talks outright. It's a direct, low-effort way to meet your CSR goals — and it's felt by an actual student, not just a report.

What this looks like

Three ways to get involved

None of it needs a budget line to begin. The usual first step is four or five staff who are willing.

List staff as mentors

Employees who opt in appear under their industry, available for questions or a school visit. No obligation past what each of them agrees to, and their contact details stay private.

Cover a talk

The honorarium for a mentor's time and travel, typically €50 to €150, so a school can bring somebody in without finding the money themselves.

Fund the thing itself

Annual sponsorship of €2,000 to €10,000 pays for the coordination that keeps the directory free to every DEIS school. You are credited as a partner. That is the whole arrangement.
