Mentoring program

Connecting students with alumni professionals from around the world.

Mentoring connects Swinburne students with alumni professionals from around the world. In informal one-to-one meetings, you will offer your insight, guidance and support as your mentee transitions from university to the world of work.

How does it work?

Once students and alumni have registered their profiles, our system automatically recommends matches between mentors (alumni) and mentees (students), based on the criteria and experience each has described. Students then choose their own mentors from a short list and initiate a connection for an initial one-on-one 30-minute chat online, over the phone or in person. 

What's in it for me?

It’s not 'all give and no take'. You get that warm fuzzy feeling of helping a student without the long-term mentoring commitment and chance to reflect on the highlights of your own career. Mentoring expands your own professional networks. You never know, you might inspire your company’s future CEO, as you:

  • Showcase and share your professional experiences and career insights.
  • Provide support and guidance for fellow Swinburne students entering the workforce.
  • Develop and refine your leadership skills.
  • Raise the profile of your own company or profession.
  • Gain access to the latest graduate talent and new ways of thinking.
