THE MBA Mentor Programme
The MBA Mentor Programme connects experienced professionals with MBA students as they navigate towards their post-MBA career. As a mentor, you will support your mentee through a meaningful mentoring journey focused on career direction, networking, interviewing, and introduction to the Danish job market.
Share your experience. Support the next generation of MBA talent.
At the same time, mentoring is an opportunity to reflect on your own career, connect with international talent and stay involved in the CBS MBA community.
This year, you can mentor either a Full-Time MBA student or an Executive MBA (EMBA) participant. Full-Time MBA Career Mentoring typically includes four 60–90-minute conversations between February and September. EMBA mentoring is more flexible, with you and your mentee agreeing on a rhythm and format that suits the match.
*Please note that matching depends on student needs and profiles, so we may not be able to match every qualified mentor each year.
