"INSPIRE" Mentorship Programme | Student Affairs Office

Let’s “INSPIRE”!

The “INSPIRE” Mentorship Programme aims to enhance students’ holistic education experience and facilitate their personal, academic, and professional development through a robust network of role models and prominent leaders of the PolyU community.

During the mentoring partnership, mentees are expected to make full use of this precious experience to:

Explore personal, academic, and professional development areas, as well as untapped potentials;
Make invaluable connections and expand your professional network;
Stay updated on the latest business and operational practices, as well as workplace culture and etiquette; and
Seek constructive feedback for self-improvement.
