Give every student a mentor who's been there

Your alumni have walked every path. Your students can't find them.

Somewhere among your graduates, faculty and final-years is the person each student needs to talk to. The hard part is everything between the question and the conversation.

• Students don't know who to ask

  The alumna who made the exact move they're considering exists. They've just never met.

• Alumni want to give back, with no easy way to

  Goodwill stays in a WhatsApp group and an annual reunion.

• The careers team can't meet everyone

  A small team, a whole batch, and one placement season.

• Guidance depends on who you know

  Students with family in the industry get advice at dinner. Everyone else has to go looking for it.

Your campus. Your alumni. Your mentorship network.

TalkToMentors turns your alumni, faculty and senior students into a searchable, bookable network — private to your institution, at its own address.

Everything a mentoring program needs. Already built.

Everything below already runs on TalkToMentors today. A university network is that platform with your community in it and your rules about who can see them.

• Find alumni & faculty

  Students search by company, role, skill and expertise, and filter by location or past employer.

• Book 1:1 guidance

  Students see a mentor's real availability and book a slot directly — no emails to chase.

• Built-in messaging

  Share a resume or a question before the session and follow up after it, in the same thread.

• Masterclasses & guest sessions

  One alum or professor runs a live session for a whole batch — a career talk, placement prep, a research method.

• Free for students

  Alumni and faculty who volunteer set their sessions free, so a student never pays to talk to their own seniors.

• Resource sharing

  Mentors attach a resume template, a reading list or a prep guide link to each type of session.

• Join with a university email

  Students admit themselves with an approved university address. Alumni join by invitation, from any address.

• Calendar integration

  Google Calendar sync blocks busy times and adds booked sessions to the mentor's calendar. Everyone else gets an emailed invite.

• Industry mentors

  Invite outside experts for specialised topics — from the TalkToMentors community or your own industry partners.

• Private campus workspace

  Your own network under your institution's name and crest, visible only to the people you approve.

• Role & access controls

  Student, mentor and admin roles. Your careers or alumni office invites, pauses and removes members.

• Availability that fits a job

  Alumni set their own weekly hours — evenings and weekends included — and pause bookings with vacation mode.

One network. Every stage of student life.

The same network serves the programs your careers, alumni and student-affairs teams already run — and the informal guidance that happens whether or not anyone runs a program.

Careers & placements

• Career guidance

  Talk to someone in the job you're considering before you commit to it.

• Placement & interview prep

  Mock interviews with alumni who've sat on the other side of the table.

• Resume & profile reviews

  A practitioner's eye on a resume, a portfolio or a LinkedIn profile.

• Internship guidance

  Which internships matter, how to land one, and how to turn it into an offer.

Higher studies & research

• Higher studies & study abroad

  Alumni who got into the programs your students are applying to.

• Research & project guidance

  Bookable faculty time for proposals, papers and final-year projects.

• Choosing a specialisation

  Hear from people on each path before picking a major or an elective.

Alumni engagement

• Alumni give-back

  A concrete way to help: one hour, one student, on their own calendar.

• Alumni masterclasses

  One alum, one live session, the whole batch.

• Entrepreneurship

  Founders from your alumni mentor student startups and your incubation cell.

• Industry connect

  Alumni across companies become your students' first professional network.

Student support

• First-year transition

  Pair new students with seniors who know how things really work here.

• First-generation students

  Guidance for students whose families can't give it at the dinner table.

• Women in STEM & diversity programs

  Mentors who share students' experience, visible and bookable.

• International students

  Seniors and alumni who made the same move to a new country.

From alumni goodwill to student outcomes in four steps.

• Set up your university network

  We create a private TalkToMentors network with your institution's name, crest and approved email domains.

• Invite your mentors

  Paste a list of alumni, faculty and senior students. Each gets an invitation under your university's name.

• Students join & book

  Students sign in with their university email, search by company, role or skill, and book from live availability.

• Mentorship happens

  1:1 sessions, masterclasses, chat before and after, and follow-ups — while your console counts it.

Better-prepared students. A closer alumni community.

Mentorship compounds on a campus. Every student helped is a future alum who remembers who helped them.

• Placement-ready students

  Practice with people who have hired and been hired.

• Clearer career choices

  Students choose a path after talking to people on it.

• Engaged alumni

  Graduates give an hour, not only a reunion visit.

• Guidance for every student

  Advice stops depending on who you know.

• A lighter careers office

  Your team spends its time on what only it can do.

• Stronger industry links

  Alumni across companies, one search away.

• Faculty time, further

  Time students can book, not queue for.

• A network that grows yearly

  Every graduating batch can add new mentors.

• Students who aim higher

  One conversation with someone who's done it changes what feels possible.

Built for campuses.

Your university network is private and controlled. You decide who gets in, what each person can do, and which mentors anyone outside can see.

• Private campus network

  Mentors in your network are visible only to people you approve.

• University email or invitation

  Students admit themselves with an approved domain. Alumni join by invitation, from any address.

• Every member labelled

  Student, alumni, faculty, staff or industry expert — set per person, or per approved domain.

• Role-based access

  Students, mentors and admins each see what their role allows.

• Your name and crest on it

  On the network, and first on every invitation it sends.

• Visibility, mentor by mentor

  Keep an alum private to your students, or let them also mentor on TalkToMentors.

Turn your alumni network into every student's advantage.

Let's build a mentorship network around your students, your alumni and your goals.

• A walkthrough shaped around your programs
• Straight answers on access, privacy and rollout
• A plan for your first group of alumni and faculty mentors
