Global Mentoring Programme
The WBS Global Mentoring Programme is a powerful way for alumni to connect, grow, and give back. Accredited by Investors in People, it matches alumni and students based on career goals and motivations, building meaningful mentoring relationships across industries and borders.
How does it work?
Our volunteer mentors are members of the WBS community (the majority alumni). Mentors receive training to support their mentees using a combination of taught mentoring skills and their own personal expertise.
Mentors and mentees are matched based on the aims, motivations and career objectives of the mentee, as well as the experience of the mentor.
Why join the WBS Global Mentoring Programme?
- For mentees: Gain tailored guidance from WBS alumni who've been there. Obtain soft skills, gain support and advice on career plans from an experienced professional, and network with other mentees
- For mentors: Sharpen your coaching skills, build professional connections, and leave a lasting legacy within the WBS community.
The WBS Global Mentoring Programme has supported over 1,400 Mentees so far. Whilst the programme helps all WBS students and alumni alike, it has been particularly helpful for graduates taking the next step in their career.
Locations of our mentors and mentees
Many of our mentors are UK-based but we have mentors around the world, including in China, India, Singapore, the UAE, Europe and North America. Geography is no boundary to the programme. Whilst many mentors and mentees will meet in person, we also have many remote mentoring relationships.
