Supporting your career through mentors

Are you looking for guidance to kick-start your career but not sure where to start?

Our panel of alumni share their experiences on how advice from mentors helped them to grow their skills, make better decisions, and gain new perspectives on their life and career.

Our panel provides tips on how to select and engage with a mentor and how they have approached different mentors for different purposes.

This event is part of Ask Alumni Live – a series of live-streamed career events developed specifically for our alumni community.
