Career Mentorship Platform

Connecting graduating scholars with alumni mentors across industries and continents.

About this project

A structured mentorship pairing between graduating scholars and mid- to senior-career alumni. Each pairing runs for 12 months and includes a monthly check-in, one professional introduction, and access to the alumni knowledge base.

Pairings are made by the Programs Committee based on the mentee's stated interests, the mentor's expertise, and geography where relevant.

The platform launched in beta in 2023 and has since seen 320 successful pairings.
