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:
