Alumni Mentorship Program

Overview

Since 2005, the Alumni Mentorship Program has fostered valuable relationships between Skule™ alumni and students. Alumni Mentors share their knowledge and experience and provide students with the encouragement and insights they need to get a great start to their careers and begin to set a course for the future. They enhance students’ educational experience and give back to their alma mater in a unique and rewarding way. Mentors often also learn from their bright young student mentees as they help them navigate important decisions at a critical time in their lives.

The program is open to undergraduate (including Professional Experience Year internship participants), graduate students (MASc, MEng and PhD) and alumni who graduated more than one year ago. Matches meet at the program’s kick-off event held at the beginning of the fall semester. From October through March, mentors and mentees connect informally as they wish, and all matches gather at several program events planned throughout the year.

How it Works

Alumni Mentors: Alumni will receive an email inviting them to register for the program in August. The formal matching of mentors and mentees will take place in October. Mentors who join after the matching period will have opportunities to participate in various micro-mentoring events throughout the year.

Student Mentees: The next opportunity for students to join AMP is in September 2024.

All participants are required to be a member of U of T Engineering CONNECT.
