Mentorship is a powerful tool for growth, and our alumni network is rich with experienced professionals eager to give back. This article delves into the impact of alumni mentorship programs that connect seasoned graduates with current students and recent alumni. Mentors like Syed Mohd Anas (HRM, 2009) and Malavika Harikumar (BM, 2023) share their experiences in guiding younger cohorts, offering insights into industry trends, career planning, and personal development.

Through structured programs and informal connections, mentors provide invaluable guidance that helps mentees navigate the complexities of the professional world. These relationships often lead to opportunities that might not have been available otherwise, such as internships, job placements, and professional introductions. The article highlights success stories, such as a mentee who secured a key position at a leading firm thanks to the guidance and networking support of their mentor.

Moreover, the mentorship program fosters a culture of giving back, where today's mentees often become tomorrow's mentors, continuing the cycle of support and growth within the community. This article aims to encourage more alumni to participate in these programs, emphasizing that the benefits are mutual—mentors also gain fresh perspectives and satisfaction from contributing to the development of the next generation.
