The idea of mentorship is to actively develop the CEMS alumni network by advising future CEMS alumni on their professional career planning.

        What is the role of an alumnus mentor?

The role of a mentor is to provide advice and insight into his/her industry or function. The mentor takes time to meet with his/her mentee periodically, either in person, via phone or e-mail, and where appropriate should arrange a visit to the workplace or participate in professional activities, such as conferences.

        What is the role of a student mentee?

Students play an important role to begin, cultivate and maintain the mentor/mentee relationship.
