Mentorship at ISDM

The ISDM Mentorship Program steers young professionals in their journey towards becoming authentic development management professionals. ISDM sees the development space as requiring the application of management disciplines that are unique and tailored to the scale of the sector. Management that does not merely retrofit business management to development projects, but one that is born specifically from the coming together of the two crucial domains. Fostering meaningful connections is key to this synthesis.

ISDM students are mentored by a select group of experienced professionals holding senior leadership positions across industries and domains. These interactions are centred on making sound professional choices, providing sustained guidance, and enhancing the students’ experience throughout the course at ISDM and beyond.

The ISDM Mentorship Program is facilitated through Mentornity–a mentoring software to build and manage effective mentoring programs.
