THE CORPORATE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

The Corporate Mentorship Program provides an opportunity for students to connect with volunteer mentors from the corporate world. Mentorship builds relationships between students and senior level business professionals from various industries. It allows mentees to work on specific skills, find the career path that motivates them, and learn about business functions and industries directly from the people who are already there.

Mentors help mentees move toward their professional goals, helping them develop a professional identity and a clear vision for their career path. Moreover, by having contact with the day-to-day world of work, mentees are able to connect what they are learning in the classroom with how it is applied in the field.

These connections and insights provide students with many opportunities for professional success.
