Mentoring Programs

The Union conducts a regular calendar of mentoring initiatives and networking events. These includes our professional mentoring program with OS mentors, our “Grammar In” series, and many other events designed to support Old Sydneians in their professional development.

OSU Mentoring Program

The Union’s professional mentoring program runs over several months and is designed to help OS find and receive suitable mentorship within the Grammar community, and to support OS in their career and personal development. This program is designed as much for those seeking a mentor as for as those seeking to give back as a mentor themselves.

The program is curated and tailored for all individuals involved. As a result, placings are competitive. As an indicator of the size of the program, in 2026 we have approximately 60 1:1 mentoring pairings.

Participants are paired based on occupational field and career stage. These are very broad and everyone is encourage to apply. To learn more, see below. To register your interest with the Union, please email info@osu.com.au or register here.

“Grammar in” Seires

The Union’s Grammar In series is an ongoing calendar of events centred on specific fields, professions, and practice areas. Each event features a panel of eminent Old Sydneians and those who have a connection to Grammar to provide their unique insights and advice. These are typically followed by social activities and informal networking opportunities for attendees.

Grammar In is constantly expanding in scope. The series has featured events such as Grammar In finance; medicine; the Law; mining, resources & commodities; real estate & property development; and technology.
