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.

Mentoring is a great way to expand your professional network.

      While searching for courses online, I discovered Westford University College to be the most gorgeous of the bunch. When I contacted them, they were kind and inviting. Understanding the benefits given by them, I understood the advantages in my favour for professional and personal growth. To top it all off, there was this multi-cultural learning environment at the institution that I wanted to be a part of as a big believer in understanding and learning from people of diverse backgrounds and origins. WUC was suggested to me, and I can see why since I can’t stop telling my friends and family about how great the learning environment is here
