Westford Mentorship Program
Westford Mentorship Programme is a reciprocal learning opportunity between our MBA alumni currently in leadership roles in the industry and our day scholars who are pursuing their bachelor’s degree. This programme will allow the mentees to be coached by the mentors, who will share their professional experience, knowledge, and skills with the mentees to help them to achieve their career ambition. It all equates in giving back to the society by having a positive influence in the lives of young people, especially those who are looking for meaningful professions. The Program bridges the gap between academia and the workforce by providing students with an opportunity to engage with experts in their field of interest, ask insightful questions, and enhance their career exploration. Alumni mentoring programs have proven incredibly successful across the globe, however, it will be the first of its kind in the UAE.
For Mentors
Mentoring is a learning relationship between
individuals focused on the mentee’s development
and goals. As someone who has “been there
before”, you will be able to assist current students
in developing the confidence, knowledge and skills
required to make a successful transition into
industry. Mentoring is a great way to expand your
professional network.
For Mentees
Students are encouraged to seek information and
guidance from their mentor, and utilize the insight
gained from learning about their mentor’s skills,
experience, and knowledge to inform decisions
about their future. They will also receive career
guidance, networking opportunities, potential
professional opportunities, and a chance to enhance
their communication and career development skills.
