Alumni mentoring

Explore the benefits of starting a mentoring relationship on СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Connect.

Get started with mentoring through СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Connect

As a СÀ¶ÊÓƵ alum you are part of an incredible international network of people from СÀ¶ÊÓƵ who you can meet through . By signing up you’ll be connected to thousands of professionals from across the globe.

One of the main ways our community uses the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Connect platform is to connect with СÀ¶ÊÓƵ alumni and form mentoring relationships (either as a mentor or a mentee). Mentoring is a powerful method of professional development, and it can benefit individuals across all job roles and functions, within any department or discipline.

Joining our online Mentor Directory

Places on the Global Mentoring Programme are very limited each year. When registering for the programme we also offer our alumni the opportunity to be added to our online Mentor Directory, to help mentees find and connect with them.

This directory of alumni are willing to mentor members of the СÀ¶ÊÓƵ community that academic year. Mentees who were not matched on the programme will receive the Directory and have the opportunity to self-select their mentor.
