The Mentoring Program offers participants of The Lisbon MBA International the opportunity to be paired with a senior-level alumni Mentor who can offer guidance and advice on maximizing your professional career. We know the importance that coaching and mentoring can have on your success as a student as well as a professional. Many companies offer Mentoring Programs for their new hires as these programs have a proven success rate in maximizing employee potential and engagement. 

So how does the program work? We try each year to make it fun and exciting for both Mentors and Mentees to get to know each other. Students give a “1-minute” elevator pitch to an audience of Mentors stating their reasons for wanting to have a Mentor and introducing themselves. This is followed by a cocktail that allows you to speak more in-depth with various Mentors. 

The following list shows some of the benefits you will receive as a participant of the Mentoring Program:

• Expand your professional network
• Further develop communication and networking skills
• Improve coachability and confidence
• Accrue valuable business lessons from those “doing it”
• Increase knowledge of a specific industry and profession
• Improve preparation for taking on leadership positions
• Develop realistic career goals
