Marketing Society for Leadership Proliferation kicks off career-readiness programme

In a first for the region, the Marketing Society for Leadership Proliferation (MSLP), the official student club of the Department of Marketing at the University of Chittagong, has launched a transformative mentorship programme titled JCI Chittagong Presents The Next Lead Initiative Powered by Mentors.

Designed as a month-long professional development experience, the initiative aims to equip university students and recent graduates with the skills, mindset and mentorship required to take on leadership and entrepreneurial roles in the evolving corporate landscape. The programme runs from 15 July to 20 August 2025 in a hybrid format, combining in-person workshops at the University of Chittagong with online modules for greater flexibility.

While primarily targeting business undergraduates from the University of Chittagong, the programme is also open to students from other institutions in the Chittagong region.

The Next Lead Initiative is more than just a skills development programme—it is a holistic journey to help young minds transition from classrooms to boardrooms with confidence, competence, and purpose.
