How does the Mentoring Programme work?
The Alumni Mentoring Programme brings together students and alumni in order for them to learn from each other’s experiences, inspire each other and for the mentor to offer advice, support and guidance. During the process, students and mentors become equal partners in a professional relationship and benefit from each other’s input and feedback.
The sessions are designed to help students orient themselves in a new phase of their lives – not to provide them with job opportunities.
