The Alumni Mentorship Program is designed to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and experience between those who have already proven themselves in the professional world and those who are about to embark on it. By matching each student with an alumnus who has a similar background and career interests, Green Impact School creates a mutual learning environment where mentors can share advice and lessons learned from their own careers.
Students, in turn, benefit from valuable insight into the realities of the job market, advice on navigating their career choices, and personalized support to achieve their professional goals.
“Participating in the alumni mentoring program was an extremely enriching experience for me.” – Sophie, student in the Grande École Program, 3rd year
Each mentee participates in regular sessions with their mentor, which can be in person, via videoconference, or by phone, depending on each individual’s preferences and availability. These sessions cover a variety of topics, from interview preparation and resume writing to discussions on the specific challenges of their chosen sector.
The program is flexible and adapts to the needs of students, allowing them to ask questions, seek specific advice, or simply discuss their aspirations and the steps needed to achieve them. This personalized relationship offers a unique level of support that is difficult to find in a traditional academic setting.
“The Green Impact School alumni mentoring program allowed me to build valuable connections with established professionals in the field of sustainable development. My mentor not only offered me career advice, but also introduced me to a network of experts who helped me refine my professional projects.” — Maxime, 1st year Master of Management student
The mentoring program is not only beneficial for students; it also provides alumni with a unique opportunity to give back to their school. By sharing their expertise and time, alumni strengthen their connection to Green Impact School and actively contribute to the school’s mission: to develop responsible and engaged leaders.
In addition, mentors often find that this experience allows them to reflect on their own careers, develop their leadership skills, and stay connected to the latest trends and innovations through their interactions with students.
One of the great benefits of the mentorship program is access to the Green Impact School alumni network. Mentors are not only advisors; they also open doors to new opportunities, whether through introductions to other industry professionals, recommendations for internships or jobs, or invitations to industry events.
This growing network allows students to connect with leaders in various fields, enriching their education and broadening their career prospects.
The launch of the Alumni Mentorship Program at Green Impact School marks an important step in enriching the student experience and strengthening the alumni community. This program is a tremendous opportunity for students to gain valuable guidance and build a strong professional network, while allowing alumni to continue to make a positive impact on their school and the next generation.
We look forward to seeing the mentor-mentee relationships grow and witness the successes that come from it.
