School of Business Elite Mentorship Programme 2025

The School of Business Elite Mentorship Program (SEMP), launched in 2025, seeks to cultivate a supportive environment where mentees can benefit from the wisdom and experience of their mentors, who serve as exemplary role models. Through one-on-one mentoring sessions, mentees are afforded the opportunity to acquire valuable insights, empowering them to excel in leadership, personal development, international exposure, and technological advancements.
Additionally, SEMP provides mentees with a unique opportunity to leverage the extensive business network of the School of Business (SBUS). This access allows them to tap into a wealth of resources and connections that can significantly enhance their growth prospects.
In summary, SEMP is a transformative program aimed at empowering mentees, fostering meaningful connections, and facilitating intellectual growth and leadership development through the guidance of experienced mentors and the expansive SBUS network.
