The Mentorship Programme run by the CYD Foundation, which connects university students with leading professionals from the business and institutional sectors, has chosen five students from UIC Barcelona to take part in the 2025 edition. They will all participate in a six-month mentoring programme that will equip them with the tools they need to make a successful transition to the world of work, strengthen their skills and build their network of professional contacts.
The programme’s opening ceremony, held on 23 April in Barcelona, brought together 40 selected students from universities all over Spain, as well as the professionals who will act as mentors. Representatives from companies such as EY, Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Havas, Cuatrecasas and Telefónica, as well as others, will contribute their experience and strategic vision in this space for intergenerational dialogue.
One of the highlights of this year's event was the presentation by Ainhoa Lucas Delgado, a UIC Barcelona graduate in Audiovisual Communication and a participant in the 2024 programme. Ainhoa shared her experience, focusing on the lessons learnt and the impact of this programme on her professional development.
Year after year, the CYD Foundation’s Mentorship Programme strengthens its commitment to young talent and to fostering links between academia and the business world. The participation of UIC Barcelona students in this edition highlights the institution’s academic excellence and its dedication to employability and the comprehensive training of its students.
