The Aga Khan Academies is looking to enhance its offerings to its graduates, in an effort to improve communication and aid these individuals as they launch into the working world. As a result, The Aga Khan Academies invites you to be part of the inaugural career mentorship initiative. It is through this one-on-one mentorship programme that we hope to connect AKA mentees (graduates) with professional mentors (alumni/other professionals). We would like for students to be able to do the following with a mentor:

• Discuss potential career choices/moves.
• Get experience that complements and gives them context to their academic pursuits.
• Practice industry-specific, transferable & self-management skills.
• Guidance to improve chances of landing jobs.
• Increase self-awareness and understanding of how to contribute to the work world.
• Expand career options by learning job search strategies.
• Exchange knowledge, insights, and experience with a mentor.

The career mentorship program would run a year in cycle, with an opportunity to renew your capacity as a mentor, if you so desire. In order to make the appropriate career matches, and understand your availability and commitment, we have a few questions to help us with the pairing process.

We ask that you kindly fill out the information request in this form (click here) Rest assured that your personal information will remain confidential and will be for the Academy’s purposes only.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
