Mentorship Programme
The aim of our Mentorship Programme is to establish a caring and supportive relationship between PolyU alumni (including alumni of Government Trade School and Hong Kong Technical College), friends of PolyU (mentors) and full-time students (mentees) to achieve the following objectives:
- to facilitate the educational, social and personal growth of mentees
- to develop mentees' fullest potential, vision and aspirations for the future
- to enhance mentees' future professional and career development
- to help groom mentees to become preferred graduates
- to empower mentees to face challenges in society
What are the roles of mentors?
Mentors will serve as advisors, coaches and counsellors by sharing experience with mentees on social and communication techniques, leadership and management skills as well as advising mentees on issues related to their career and personal growth and development.
Mentees can gain valuable knowledge from mentors so that they can learn to appreciate wider aspects of experience outside the classroom.
How does the programme work?
The mentor and the mentee would agree, under the mutual convenience, the level of commitment, mode and frequency of interaction, and the focus of interaction to enhance the mentor-mentee relationship. Each mentor would take on more than one mentee during the same period. Regular contact, in form of individual or group meetings for few times during the year are encouraged.
How do the mentors benefit?
Mentors contribute to society by aiding in the development of PolyU undergraduates. This programme also provides an excellent opportunity for mentors to identify and recruit talented and promising graduates. By helping the University, alumni have the opportunity to support their Alma Mater in fulfilling its mission to produce 'preferred graduates' as well as a new breed of young professionals for the community at large.
