How to be a mentor.
Employer Mentor Goals
By participating in the All In mentorship program you’ll help young students make a smooth school-to-career transition. Research shows that experiential learning promoted intellectual maturity, personal growth, career awareness and civic and social responsibilities, so as an employer mentor you’ll impact a student’s life beyond the workplace. There are many things you can achieve when you work one-on-one with a student, but the main three goals of our mentorship program are:
- To provide career advice and best practices
- To be a role model who shares personal and professional growth
- To guide student employees through their academic, social and cultural journey
If you don’t think mentoring is right for you there are other ways you can help a student, including:
- Offering informational interviews
- Conducting workplace tours
- Allowing job shadowing
- Carrying out mock interviews
- Participating in career or job fairs
- Visiting campuses
- Speaking at career-oriented conferences
- Critiquing cover letters and resumes
