Career Mentor Link matches professionals with students, providing an opportunity for students to benefit from the industry knowledge and career experience of their mentors. This one-on-one mentoring program runs from late April to late October yearly. It aims to:
· create a learning opportunity for students to start taking ownership of their career
· provide students with an industry perspective to enhance their academic learning
· prepare students for transition to the workplace
· establish mutually beneficial relationships between industry, the University and its students
How it works
Students (mentees) are encouraged to seek advice and information about their career direction and employment goals while mentors share their industry skills and insights and take an active interest in the career development of the student.
