Mentoring fosters connections between current AHSS students and seasoned Alumni.

Our aim is to furnish students with a supportive framework to contemplate the array of career possibilities available to them. We also aim to inspire them to recognise their existing skills while identifying areas, with their mentor, where they can further develop their capabilities.

Mentoring aims to enrich students' understanding of the professional world, their potential, and various work environments. By doing so, students gain the confidence to excel in the job market and personal endeavors alike.

As one student put it, "It will open your eyes to so many possibilities that you wouldn't have thought of".
