Ambassador Mentoring Programme
Student engagement is a prominent component of the education experience at the University of Twente. Whether it is a full-time board year at a study association or managing a committee at a sports club; student engagement is vital to keep the student community at the UT dynamic but also greatly contributes to your own personal development. However, the Student Union, together with the Alumni Office, wants to encourage you to keep developing yourself after your board year by contributing in the Ambassador Mentoring Programme (AMP)! Moreover, you can receive support for your future professional ambitions through unique access to senior professionals from the UT alumni network as part of the Ambassador Mentoring Programme.
The AMP focuses on connecting University of Twente student leaders who have completed the SU Engagement certification with high level managers from the university’s alumni network. Participating students have a chance to develop transferable skills, focus on career development, obtain guidance on career goals, develop networking skills, and learn about workplace dynamics to assist in the transition from the campus to the employment world.
