<p>Programme Structure and Mechanism</p>
<p>Mentors and mentees were meticulously matched based on their academic backgrounds and relevant professional expertise, ensuring a synergistic and effective partnership. Each pair was committed to completing six hours of structured consultation and guidance sessions throughout the programme&#8217;s duration.</p>
<p>A core component of the programme involved mentors guiding their mentees in the formulation of a comprehensive Individual Development Plan (IDP), which outlined three distinct, measurable, and achievable professional goals. The engagement was conducted through a hybrid model, incorporating both in-person and online sessions, with continuous monitoring by the Alumni Engagement Office to uphold the quality of interaction and ensure adherence to the programme’s objectives.</p>
