UNITECH MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME

For UNITECH Graduands and Alumni seeking personalized career guidance, skill development, and support from experienced leaders to navigate challenges, achieve professional goals, and accelerate their career growth.

The UNITECH Mentorship Programme is designed to provide critical support and guidance to recent UNITECH Graduands (students who have fulfilled all requirements, but have not officially graduated yet), Graduates and Alumni as they start their professional careers. By connecting them with experienced UNITECH Alumni and Corporate Partners, the programme fosters professional development, career advancement, and knowledge sharing. The goal is to create a personalized growth journey, helping mentees navigate job searches, develop new skills, tackle complex projects, and explore career shifts.

Mentors, through this programme, can enhance their leadership and coaching abilities, expand their professional networks, and play a pivotal role in shaping future talent. Mentees, on the other hand, benefit from tailored guidance, skill enhancement, networking opportunities, and strategic career support. This year-long programme facilitates meaningful, bi-monthly mentor-mentee meetings and offers additional workshops, networking events, and structured resources to ensure a productive collaboration.
