The Mentoring Program is designed to assist CEIBS by helping MBA student to obtain more learning channels to get well prepared for them to enter into real business world after their graduation. Further more, with the EMBA students and Alumni's involvement, the program itself enhance a feeling of belonging to the CEIBS Community which is very important variable influencing retention and the persistence among the students and Alumni. The Mentoring Program therefore must provide effective platforms for mentor and mentee to interactive and communicate freely. 

An ideal population to begin mentoring with is first-year MBA students. First-year students confront more problems than the second year students. They might not know how to learn at a business school, they might not have a very clear career development picture; they might eager to expand their network. A mentor could be the one to provide guidance, encouragement, friendship, and support to the student during their study in CEIBS.

Thus, Mentoring provides mentor with an opportunity to affect MBA students at a much more personal level; to make a difference in students' lives and career; and to have a positive impact on students; let them feel very warm and pride "at home" at CEIBS.
