Project Protégé

Afour-month mentorship programme, Project Protégé provides a platform for SIM students to learn from SIM Alumni and industry professionals from diverse backgrounds, in order to enhance their personal development and achieve their career aspirations.

On top of that, mentors have the opportunity to impart their experiences and knowledge, as well as share their professional expertise, career advice and job search strategies.

“Project Protégé offered me an avenue to tap into the knowledge and experience of a mentor to accelerate my development. Since we met for our first mentorship session, Matthew and I still keep in touch today. On many occasions, he offered different perspectives that were instrumental in shaping my thoughts, decoding industry insights and shedding light on the inner workings of organisations, that help me get ahead.”

“As a student, I wanted a more holistic understanding of the working world, beyond the classroom. Project Protégé gave me this opportunity, allowing me to make better-informed decisions as I subsequently navigated internships and a full-time career. During our conversations, Edmond drew on his experiences in life and the working world for practical advice and tips. Even today, I know he is a mentor I can still count on.”

“The best thing about Project Protégé was that the mentors come from various fields and expertise. Consequently, I could narrow down my options to a mentor that would create the most impact in helping me realise my goals. My mentor, Anthony, is an entrepreneur who provided me with raw and personal insights into starting a business. I still refer to the notes from our meetings to this day. Beyond the professional sphere, he also enabled me to understand myself better by identifying the ways I had held back my growth.”

“Have a mentor to walk alongside you, to show you what you can do and bring the best out of you.”

“Mentorship is a two-way street. Lives are changed forever!”

“Discover your strengths through mentorship, and choose the career path you like.”
