MBS Alumni Mentoring: Shaping Tomorrow Together

The MBS Alumni Mentoring Program connects our Bachelor and Master students with experienced alumni, fostering professional growth, career development, and meaningful connections. Through this exclusive mentoring initiative, students gain firsthand insights into their chosen industries, receive career guidance, and build their professional networks with the support of MBS alumni worldwide.

Program Overview

The MBS Alumni Mentoring Program is designed to create meaningful mentor-mentee relationships that support students in their professional and personal development. We facilitate both in-person mentoring connections for students and alumni in Munich and virtual matches for mentors outside of Munich, ensuring that all participants have access to valuable mentorship, no matter their location.

Alignment of expertise

We pair students with mentors who have experience in their field of interest.

Personal connection

Shared values, interests, and professional aspirations help foster a meaningful mentor-mentee relationship.

Degree program compatibility

We ensure that students are matched with mentors who understand their academic journey and career trajectory.

Structured Yet Flexible Mentorship

Das Programm bietet zwar einen klaren Rahmen - mit einer Auftaktveranstaltung, einem Check-In zur Programmhalbzeit und einer Online-Abschlussveranstaltung - doch der wahre Wert liegt in der Eigeninitiative der Studierenden. Jede Mentorenschaft ist einzigartig, geprägt von den Zielen, die sich der Mentee setzt, und der Beziehung, die er zu seinem Mentor aufbaut.

  • Kick-Off Event (October/November): An interactive session where mentor-mentee pairs meet, establish expectations, and begin setting goals for their mentorship journey.
  • Mid-Program Check-In: A structured touchpoint for students and mentors to reflect on progress and refine mentorship objectives.
  • Online Closing Event (July): A virtual gathering where participants share insights, reflect on their experiences, and receive their mentorship certificates.

A Collaborative Commitment

Success depends on active participation from both mentors and mentees. Together, they agree on meeting frequency, communication style, and focus areas — ensuring the mentorship meets the student’s needs while respecting the mentor’s time.
