Finding a mentor is a personal journey and you may not find the right match the first time. Fortunately, USB has a broad database of alumni mentors with varying levels and types of experience. This way, students can connect with various available mentors in order to find the perfect match. Our matching process involves a review of certain criteria to find a suitable match based on different requirements from the mentee and listed criteria of the mentor.
Students can submit a request for a Career or Industry mentor via the Career Leadership portal.
Mentor small business owners from low-income communities who are registered for the nine-month SBA Development Programme at USB’s Small Business Academy.
To find out how you can be involved in helping our SBA students flourish, contact the USB Alumni Office directly at [email protected]
