The Mentoring Program is designed to ease the transition from college to the working world. Unlike internships and field experiences, however, the mentoring program gives students the opportunity to learn about business without yet being placed in jobs. Groups of students, usually four or five, are matched with an active executive (a mentor) who meets regularly with them for a semester or more to discuss a wide range of business-related subjects, such as:
Groups often meet to discuss business-related news, to tour the mentor's workplace, or to meet with representatives of various departments at the mentor's place of employment. Of course, these professional contacts can all be quite valuable when it comes time to begin the formal job search. Since many mentors also serve on the Council of Business Associates, this interaction with students provides valuable insights into the needs and concerns of students and bout the effectiveness of the CBE program. There are currently 5 mentors in the program for the academic year 1995-6. |
