You can share your professional experiences and personal insights with mentees, giving them a greater understanding of career journeys, professional opportunities and employer expectations.

Become an Alumni Buddy

Time commitment: 10 hours over approximately 3 meetings. This programme kicks off in June when students go overseas on their internships.

Sharing your career experience

Time commitment: One-off activity – 1-3 hour lecture time. You’ll join a ‘pool’ of volunteers who will be offered various opportunities throughout the year.
