Agenda
SAMP matches together students and alumni as mentors who can provide support and advice on studies, internships, exchange semesters, applications or career choices.
It can also create new friendships and a unique long time relationship among the participants.
What is SAMP?
It is a great individual networking opportunity that leverages on the strong CEMS network!
• We have collected and summarised best SAMP practices as well as past negative attempts and present them in this document
• We would like you to: • Pick one of the models that would be the most suitable for your
country• Get in touch with the local alumni committee and student
representatives to discuss the opportunities and possibilities of SAMP implementation within your country
• Get in touch with someone from our contact list to help you in the implementation process
The aim of this presentation
• In order to implement and improve the SAMP, current models and past attempts were analysed • The following countries have shown to have the most successfull models in action
There are currently 3 successful models
• „One-one mentorship“• Students linked to alumni based on interests• Individual approach• For countries with strong alumni base
• A few alumni mentoring to a larger group of students• „Meet the….“ sessions• For countries with less alumni available
• LinkedIn group• Any local alumni and student can join and connect online• For countries with campus outside the CBD
DE/AT/UK CZ FR
• Interested Alumni act as mentors• Having „one on one“ mentorship-mentee relationship• Students are matched with alumni based on interests• Kick off introductory event • Relationship and its intensity depends on preferences and
availability of the two parties• Successful especially in countries with strong and large alumni
base
Model nr. 1 - introductionDE/AT/UK
Model nr. 1 – implementation 1/2 DE/AT/UK
Initiation:
• Meeting between Local Alumni Team Committee Members and the Students President Body to discuss the timeline, opportunities, implementation
1st Month of the semester:
• Week 1: E-mail to all Alumni asking to fill out the profiles (see slide XX)Each Alumni who already participated last year receives a separate E-mail with old profile asking if she is available again and whether the profile is up-to-date
• Week 2: First reminder E-mail to all Alumni
• Week 3: Second reminder E-mail to all Alumni
• Week 4: Deadline for Alumni to send their profiles
Model nr. 1 – implementation 2/2 DE/AT/UK
2nd Month of the semester:
• Week 1: E-mail to all Students to fill out their profiles (slide XX)
• Week 2: First reminder E-mail to all Students (if there are enough Alumni)
• Week 3: Second reminder E-mail to all Students (if there are enough Alumni)
• Week 4: Deadline for Students to send their profiles
3rd Month of the semester:
• First few weeks: Internal matching process by partnering candidates according to intersts;E-Mail participants and not matched about the results and introduce them within the pair
4th Month of the semester:
Kick off – introductory eventthat can be joined also by old mentors and mentees. Reserve a restaurant/bar well in advance and inform participants with „save the date“
• Individual approach• Possibility to ask any questions• Meetings according to availability
of both• Skype, phone, email mentoring
also possible
• Mentorship can continue after studies and can develop into a friendship
Model nr. 1 – pros and consDE/AT/UK
• Necessary to have a large alumni base• Preferably alumni in the same
city to ensure personal contact• Pairing up can be time
consuming• Pairing on a yearly basis• Limited chance to network with
other mentors/alumni
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Also possible to have one mentor available for more students and meeting in small teams (Hungarian model)
• Regular meetings during the semester called „Meet the...„• A small group of alumni from one industry talk to a group of
students interested in that field • Students may ask questions within the sessions• Topics of the meetings are for example: finance, consulting,
marketing, sales, public sector, non-profit, logistics.
Model nr. 2 - introduction CZ
Initiation: • Meeting between Local Alumni Team Committee Members and the
Students President Body to discuss the opportunities, implementation and which topics would be the most desired.• Set up a timeline when is each meeting going to happen (app. 4-6 meetings
per semester) and book conference rooms (university or companies)
• Beginning and throughout the semester: • Contact alumni according to the industry/topic of the meeting. Inform them
about the SAMP project and ask whether they are willing to participate at that given date. • Once enough alumni is found to hold the meeting (at least 2 or 3 per
meeting) inform students and make them register for the event
Model nr. 2 – implementation 1/2 CZ
• During the meetings the professionals either by presenting with ppt presentation or by a discussion share their views for example on the following topics:– How did I get to my profession?– What is the profession like?– What are the main challenges I have come across during my career in this field?– What do I like/dislike about my job?– What is an ideal candidate for this profession? (e.g. Personality (socializing,
communicative, phlegmatic, innovative, passive, introvert...), education/language skills, working experience, etc.)
– What are the main challenges I have come across during my career in this field?
• Besides that students can freely ask questions about working in particular companies, about their recruiting processes etc.
Model nr. 2 – implementation 2/2 CZ
• Quite easy to organize• Only a few alumni from each
industry necessary• Not only opportunity for
meeting the students but also a way to meet other alumni or interesting professionals
Model nr. 2 – pros and cons CZ
• No direct personal contact; students might be shy asking certain questions• Finding a room to hold the
meeting• Sometimes small number of
students coming
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
• Official CEMS group on LinkedIn has a country SAMP subgroup (enter name of the CEMS group)
• Interested Alumni write a few sentences what industry they are in and what advice they can offer (they don´t necessarily have to be present/active in that country)
• Students with Linked In profiles individually contact the alumni
• Kick off introductory event• Relationship and its intensity depends on preferences and
availability of the two parties. Most of the time it is online• One mentor can serve more students
Model nr. 3 - introduction FR
• Contact us and we will create you an official CEMS Linked In subgroup for your country
• Start contacting alumni from your country (alumni newsletter or direct mailing, as well as on linkedin and Facebook) informing them about the project and ask them to create their short „mentor ad“
• Once enought alumni is interested, open the group to the local students - it is always open, but it shuld be promoted only when a ceratin number of alumni profiles are available
• Organise an introductory kick off event
Model nr. 3 – implementation FR
Model nr. 3 – pros and cons FR
• Virtual approach – no need to be present in the same city• Individual approach• Possibility of having more than
one mentors• Chance for alumni to contact
other alumni
• Necessary to have a larger alumni base• Not necessarily a personal
contact• Too many students may be
interested in one mentor
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Inform students that they can make use of the broad alumni base on Linked In, using the ir own initiative and finding the right mentor by them selves (without having an official SAMP group)
