Clients and mentors

The mentoring partnership

The CBE Careers and Student Employability team collaborate with Scyne Advisory, world-class management consultants, who mentor participating SIP students with their cases.

Working under their guidance, participating students not only identified issues facing their client and searched for business solutions, but they also learned valuable lessons from the experienced professionals at Scyne Advisory.
