Organised by the Dato’ Kho Hui Meng Career Centre (DKHMCC), the event welcomed nearly 80 experienced SMU postgraduate students and close to 40 alumni for an evening of networking, mentorship, and career development. As part of DKHMCC’s annual Connecting Talents networking series, the programme connected postgraduate students with at least two years of professional experience to alumni mentors through roundtable discussions and informal networking sessions. Participants exchanged real-world career advice, explored diverse career pathways, and gained industry insights while expanding their professional networks. The event underscored the value of alumni engagement, peer learning, and meaningful professional connections in supporting lifelong career growth and development.
