Mentoring

As part of the University’s Mission to produce well-rounded students, the Mentoring Programme was designed to provide out-of-classroom learning experiences on a one-on-one basis for our final year students.

The Office of Student Services in collaboration with the Alumni Relations Office administers the Programme. Mentors are selected among UTech alumni, staff, parents and Corporate Jamaica and matched with students (mentees) firstly by career paths.

The UTech Mentoring Programme offers a professional relationship between mentors and mentees and helps our students to be more prepared for the transition to the world of work.

Starting in January 2001 with twenty six (26) mentors and twenty six (26) mentees, the Programme grew for the 2003-2004 academic year to one hundred and twenty (120) each. Additionally, in November 2003, out of an appeal for involvement by our overseas and out-of-Kingston alumni, Dr. Rae Davis, University President, launched the E-Mentoring Programme where mentors and mentees communicate via the use of technology.

E-mentoring is offered to third year students who will benefit from the face-to-face experience in their final year.

We are thankful to our mentors, past and present, for the tremendous contribution they have made/ are making in the lives of our students. Volunteer to be a mentor today
