WBS Alumni Association

Mentoring

Release your potential. Our mentoring programme can help you get in touch with other WBS alumni who can assist you in your career goals. You can also give something back by helping to mentor the current student community.

Membership Programme

The 2010 programme is now full. You can apply for the 2011 programme in December 2010.

Current students and graduates of WBS can apply for a mentor. The benefits include:

  • Selection and matching process
  • Dedicated personal mentor
  • Induction/Networking event (Year 1) - a face to face introductory meeting with individual mentor, or a steering group mentor or wbsLive induction session
  • Annual face to face networking event on campus (Year 2)
  • Password protected access to an online toolkit/case studies post matching

We accept 70 mentees each year. Successful applicants pay a subscription charge of £100 for two years. This covers the costs of the face-to-face events and application process, as the mentors themselves are volunteers.

To become a mentor, apply to Tracy Lynch. Applications are reviewed by the steering group throughout the year.

"Through the proper guidance and mentorship, I have been equipped with invaluable insights and skills that will contribute and play an important role in my career and business success."
Jennifer Leong, current student on our BA in Accounting & Finance

AMBA seal of approval - New!
The mentoring programme whilst still at pilot stage was given official recognition by the AMBA accreditation review panel earlier this year.


We have listed all of our participating mentors under their current business discipline, although many are to be found in more than one section, dependant on the breadth of their experiences.

Our sincere thanks to Steering group chair, Peter Summerfield and members, Don Barratt, Dustie Houchin, Richard Hughes, Brendan Kelly, Claire Oatway and Daryl Rush for leading this programme through the pilot and feedback phase through 2009 - see WBS mentoring guide for further information on the steering group.
