Personalized Career Guidance at the Heart of Monaco’s Business Ecosystem
The MBA Mentorship Program at the International University of Monaco is a structured initiative designed to support MBA students through personalized career guidance, professional mentoring and networking opportunities.
Based in Monaco, an international business hub at the crossroads of Europe and the global economy, the program connects students with experienced executives, industry professionals and alumni who actively support their professional development during the MBA and beyond.
What is the MBA Mentorship Program?
The MBA Mentorship Program pairs MBA students with mentors who share practical insights, career advice and leadership experience.
The objective is to help students better understand their career options, refine their professional goals and gain confidence in decision-making.
Mentorship is not theoretical: it is a human, practical and career-oriented exchange, adapted to each student’s background and ambitions.

It is particularly valuable for students interested in careers connected to Monaco, Europe and international markets.
How does Mentorship Support MBA Careers?
Mentors help students:
- clarify short- and long-term career goals
- better understand industry expectations and market trends
- develop leadership skills and professional confidence
- approach career transitions with structure and realism
Through regular exchanges, mentors act as trusted advisors, offering perspective, feedback and encouragement throughout the MBA journey.

Mentors come from diverse sectors such as finance, consulting, entrepreneurship, luxury management and innovation.
Students benefit from:
- one-to-one mentoring sessions

- opportunities to expand their professional network locally and internationally
These connections often extend beyond graduation, becoming a long-term asset for career development.

Why Mentorship Matters During an MBA
An MBA is a key moment for reflection, growth and professional repositioning. Mentorship helps students make sense of this transition by combining experience, dialogue and practical guidance.
At IUM, mentorship is viewed as a long-term investment in students’ careers, aligned with the university’s career-focused and international approach to management education.
As I wanted to switch careers from IT to Luxury Hospitality, my mentor gave me sound advice on transitioning from one field to another.
