A Guide for
Mentors
THE COMMITMENT
Mentors must be based in Sydney, or travel very regularly
to Sydney, and have at least five years of professional
business experience.
Mentors are required to spend a minimum of five hours
of in-person face time with one mentee over the course
of fifteen weeks. Meetings are arranged by the mentor
and mentee with no formal check-ins from UNSW
Business School, to allow the mentorship to develop
organically. We ask that you are regularly available to
communicate and meet with your mentee.
The mentoring program is a formal university extra-
curricular activity that is included on students’ Australian
Higher Education Graduation Statement. It is important
you commit to the minimum in-person face time of five
hours to ensure your student meets the requirements of
the Graduation Statement.
Chartered Accountants Australia +
New Zealand partners with the UNSW
Business School to deliver the Career
Mentoring Program.
You may wish to spread your meetings out evenly over
the fifteen weeks or conduct them all within a shorter
period. It is a good idea to work out a schedule with your
student during your first meeting.
