Pitt Business Mentoring Match

The Pitt Business Mentoring Match program takes advantage of our strong, global alumni network. It gives alumni the opportunity to give back to the school and interact with talented, young professionals. And it helps students connect with experienced leaders who can offer invaluable guidance and coaching support. The mentoring program is a critical part of how Pitt Business takes students From the Classroom, To the City, To the World.

Alumni-Student Connections

The Pitt Business Mentoring Match lets students connect with alumni from a diverse range of industries and specializations. It is powered by a searchable online database that lets students search for alumni types by industry, functional area, geographic location, and other parameters.

To date, more than 500 alumni have signed up for the program. They encompass every business major, include both recent graduates and those at the executive level, and are located all across the country. Business students from every academic major, from freshmen through seniors, are eligible to contact our alumni mentors.

Mentoring Match Benefits

One of the first things to remember when initiating a mentoring relationship is that it is, in fact, a relationship, not a transaction. A mentor is there to help an individual grow and assist with his or her transition from life as a student to life as a young professional.

Alumni Benefits

Participating in the program is an opportunity to give back to current students at the school. Furthermore, they are able to work with the future business leaders who will be joining their organizations, and thus can expand their own networks.

Student Benefits

Students gain access to a trusted resource in the business world. They are able to interact with alumni for everything from quick career advice to developing a long-term relationship. Since the program includes alumni from all over the world, these interactions can range from in-person meetings to phone calls and emails.

“I joined Mentoring Match to learn about opportunities in the consulting field. My mentor, Bob, was instrumental in sparking my interest, answering all of my questions, and staying open to whatever direction I decided on in my career. I was able to secure a job in the Highmark Leadership Acceleration program thanks to my mentor’s support and his passion for the company and industry.”
