In an attempt to acquaint young managers with the essence of corporate outlook, make them industry-relevant and prepare them for final placement interviews, Globsyn Business School (GBS) has designed the Globsyn Alumni Mentorship Program (GAMP), bringing in alumni from across batches to share their experiences, domain expertise and tell the students how the B-School has helped them by providing a perfect stepping stone for their corporate career.
As a mentor, these alumni will be responsible to make the students more aware of what the industry is expecting from them, inspire them to give their best during the final placement interviews, and guide them with their real-life industry experience. Spread across several sessions, each mentor is supposed to speak on a particular topic, which would help the students in enhancing their employability skills.
Program Goals
- Industry Readiness: The Globsyn Alumni Mentoring Program helps the students become more ‘industry-relevant’ by guiding them into being better leaders.
- Holistic Development: The Globsyn Alumni Mentoring Program encourages the students to understand the importance of education, and helps them to build their confidence.
- Academic Performance and Excellence: The Globsyn Alumni Mentoring Program explains the importance of academics to the students, and the approach they should harbor towards it.
