Alumni mentoring program

There is a wealth of knowledge and experience within our Business School alumni community. The Business Alumni Mentoring Program provides a chance for our alumni to share this expertise and contribute to the development of aspiring business leaders. We match professional business mentors with current students to inspire, teach and provide career guidance.

What's involved?

Successful mentor applicants will be matched with a current University of Business School student, taking into account areas of study, interests, experience and goals.

The program runs for 6 months, from April to October. Applicants must be able to commit to a monthly meeting with their mentee at a venue to be decided between them.

To get the most out of the experience, we ask mentors to:

• attend a mentor training session prior to the launch of the program
• attend the launch of the program in April
• attend the graduation event in October

Mentors and students are matched based on a range of factors:

• student career goals
• student needs in terms of "soft skills" development
• mentor areas of expertise
