GELS Mentor Program

The wide range of impressive careers of GELS alumni makes the GELS alumni network an outstanding platform for personal development beyond the project’s execution. Therefore, apart from the scholarship recipient becoming part of the network, the network offers the possibility of receiving a former scholarship holder as mentor once the project has been carried through – to support, inspire and advice in personal and career choices.

Former scholarship holders have advanced to high positions in wide-ranging industries, worked at the most prominent management consulting firms, engaged in social initiatives, continued within the academic field and become artists and entrepreneurs. No matter who the new scholarship holder is, the alumni network will surely have much advice to give. Below is seen examples on the experience that the GELS alumni network has to offer.
