The Executive Partners Program (EPP) is a distinctive opportunity for high-achieving postgraduate students to engage in a mentoring relationship with an experienced senior executive. Our Executive Partners come from a diverse range of professions with leadership skills, industry insight and a vast business network to assist students with career goals and contribute to developing students' understanding of work and industry.
Executive Partners typically mentor one or two students each year. They work together with their mentee and establish a mutually convenient schedule for mentoring. Through the partnership, mentees can clarify and refine career direction; develop leadership presence and decision-making capability; strengthen employability and executive-level communication skills; and expand their professional networks.
For those at a mid- to senior-career stage, mentoring can also support career transition or progression, strategic career planning, executive confidence, stakeholder management, and navigating complex organisational environments, as well as refining interview, presentation, and influence skills.
