Would you like to mentor a current NTU student?
14 August 2014
The Employability Mentoring Programme is designed to improve the employability prospects of current students through the development of a mentoring relationship with an alumnus who is an experienced professional and who works in the student’s sector of interest.
Over the last year, the programme has gone from strength to strength with more than 100 mentoring relationships. The success is down to the help of our alumni who have generously imparted their expertise and time to help develop the employability skills of our current students, and new graduates.
Alumnus and mentor Shahban Meherban (BSc Pharmacology and Neuroscience 2008, MRes Applied Biosciences 2009) said: “We have made excellent progress and we have assessed what areas my mentee needs to work on and how we can improve certain aspects of her CV. I strongly feel that by the end of the year she will have made significant progress.”
Law student Misbah Ashraf, pictured right speaking at the mentoring celebration event last April, told us about her mentoring experience. She said: “My mentor has opened my eyes to the sort of challenges I will face, how to cope under pressure and what skills I could bring to any firm that I work for.”
