Kick-off of the Master Forum Mentoring Program 2023

Another year, another opportunity for EPFL Master students to get support from alumni and alumnae!

2023 marks the 6th edition of our mentoring program coorganized with Forum EPFL and it kicked-off a couple of weeks ago. With 144 pairings between students and graduates, +150 people attending our kick-off event, and many mentors returning year to year, this edition is yet another success for this impactful program.
For the next few months, students will get the opportunity to benefit from advices to identify the jobs and industries relevant for them, and get ready for the start of their career.

Many thanks to the whole team of Forum EPFL, and more specifically to Pierre-Benoît Grimaux, Prune Ollier and Héloïse Gilbert who run the program with us this year.
