The Arthur Lok Jack Grad­u­ate School of Busi­ness launched the 2010 cy­cle of its an­nu­al men­tor­ship pro­gramme with the par­tic­i­pa­tion by 40 alum­ni and men­tors. The third cy­cle of the project, es­tab­lished in 2008, was of­fi­cial­ly launched last Thurs­day at the school's Yara Au­di­to­ri­um. "The men­tor­ing pro­gramme was in­no­v­a­tive and use­ful. It of­fered sig­nif­i­cant po­ten­tial to en­rich the stu­dents learn­ing ex­pe­ri­ence whilst en­gag­ing the alum­ni," stat­ed the As­so­ci­a­tion of MBA Ac­cred­i­ta­tion Coun­cil.

The men­tor­ship pro­gramme was de­signed to "pro­vide an av­enue to meet and in­ter­act, ex­change ideas, de­vel­op friend­ships and pro­mote net­work­ing among alum­ni (men­tors) and stu­dents (mentees) of the busi­ness school. The men­tor­ing process in­cludes, but is not lim­it­ed to, as­sist­ing mentees in achiev­ing some­thing that is im­por­tant to them, pro­vid­ing sup­port and guid­ance in a man­ner that em­pow­ers mentees with the con­fi­dence to pur­sue their goals and build­ing a pro­fes­sion­al and per­son­al rap­port, in an im­per­son­al set­ting that fa­cil­i­tates pos­i­tive and open two-way com­mu­ni­ca­tion.
