Recognizing the power of over 3 million students across its Signatory Members, PRME established the PRME Students community (formerly known as PRME Global Students or PGS) as a global platform to channel this collective energy toward meaningful change. Designed to empower the next generation of responsible leaders, PRME Students advances PRME’s mission to transform management education by fostering creative collaboration, collective reflection, and joyful exchange among student organizations. This vibrant community strengthens local and global connections across the university ecosystem, enabling students to drive sustainable development and amplify collective impact for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Today, PRME Students actively engages more than 500 student organizations worldwide.

Overview
The PRME Students Mentorship Programme connects students at Signatory Member institutions with experienced professionals working in sustainability fields. Through virtual group and one-on-one sessions, students receive personalized career guidance, explore professional pathways, and build networks with peers and mentors who share a commitment to responsible management. In addition to career support, students also benefit from sessions that deepen their understanding of the SDGs and their relevance to future careers.

Programme Objectives

• Provide tailored guidance on careers in sustainability-focused industries and roles

• Help students identify the skills and experiences needed for different career paths

• Support job and internship searches, career planning, and professional development
  
  

How It Works
Over the course of six months, students are matched with mentors based on shared career interests. Mentors come from diverse sectors including academia, business, and NGOs, and represent a range of professional disciplines, including marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, and more.

Outcomes for Students
By the end of the programme, participants will gain:

• Clarity on career directions and required skills

• Strategies to execute a personalized career plan

• Enhanced professional competencies and a stronger career network
  
  

Evaluation
To assess impact, participants will complete a feedback form and post-programme survey, measuring how effectively the mentorship supported their professional growth and commitment to responsible management.
