What does it mean to be a Mentor?
Each Mentor is matched with 1 to 3 Mentees by the Program Administrators, based on the availability provided at registration.
The matching process considers the Mentor’s profile and, as much as possible, the preferences expressed by both Mentors and Mentees to ensure a high-impact educational experience.
Mentors commit to the Mentoring Pact and offer guidance through monthly 60 minute calls, sharing advice that fosters personal growth and professional development.
This service is entirely voluntary and free of charge, reflecting our Mentors’ commitment to giving back.
What does a Mentor do?
Mentors are expected to support their assigned Mentees while actively contributing to the professional world themselves.
The guidance provided may include:
-
Explaining the career paths available after university
-
Outlining the key skills needed to thrive in various professional settings
-
Offering advice on how to build and strengthen those skills
-
Analyzing the competitiveness of different career options and related recruitment processes
-
Encouraging thoughtful reflection on the Mentee’s values, interests, and how these influence career decisions
We particularly appreciate and encourage applications from Mentors in the following fields:
