TESTIMONIAL
Learning That Builds Confidence and Direction
Our mentorship programs help students discover strengths, make informed choices, and grow with confidence, here’s what our community has to say.
When I first heard about Mentors For Kids and their online
courses, I was hesitant. But after exploring their platform, I
realised they were practical, efficient, and exactly what our
Commerce students needed to become job-ready.
I was deeply impressed by the personal attention MFK
gave to every student — regular updates, leaderboard
motivation, and constant mentoring made a real
difference. Six of my students worked hard, topped the
leaderboard, and were selected for the corporate visit —
an opportunity beyond their imagination…. I’m deeply
grateful for its impact.
I have been using Mentors For Kids for quite a few months
& as a Commerce student I find it extremely useful… They
share regular updates on current affairs, and I have
enrolled to their courses, which I find very useful.
They cover every topic, including financial literacy. It is a
very good add on to our B.Com. course… what I also find
very helpful is the interview they conduct with CFOs. They
allow me to ask questions as well… I was worried about
my future, and I found the interactions with the CFO very
helpful. I would like to thank Mentors for Kids Foundation
to help me grow in my career.
I am proud to say that I’m a student of Mentors For Kids
Foundation. The various courses and sessions conducted
by them are very informative, interactive and very well
organised. The persons conducting the classes very clear,
and explained topics with real world examples.
Course and quizzes have helped me in my studies, and
have made me more confident. I thank them for
conducting all the sessions free of cost. They also provide
scholarships and I am proud to say that I’m one of the
students who was awarded by Mentors For Kids
Foundation… I encourage other students to take their
programs as well.
I would like to appreciate the efforts put in by Mentors For
Kids Foundation, who have been inspiring the young
generation of commerce & management students, helping
them prepare for the real world.
I appreciate their programs, such as financial literacy. It is
important that students should learn how to plan their
finances. They have many programs to train young
students, helping create young leaders.
I wish them all the best!
We have signed an MOU with the MFK Foundation. The
foundation have an impressive plan to train youngsters.
Not only do they train our students, they also provide
scholarships to bright and hard-working students. Through
their programs they plan to make our students job-ready.
They have a clear idea about the skills needed to make our
students employable. Our college has benefited from the
programs offered by MFK Foundation, and I would like to
thank their office bearers to provide a such a platform for
our students and youngsters.
