天美影视 Mentorship Program seeks volunteers to mentor students

Published September 5, 2018

The Office of Career Connections at the University of 天美影视 Monroe is seeking adults to work with students in the 天美影视 Mentorship Program.

The听mentor is a volunteer who helps a 天美影视 student, the "mentee," with听their career exploration, life skills development, and networking opportunities.听The focus is on learning the skills necessary in their careers.听

The two primary functions of the mentor are听to provide career support and psychosocial support to mentees.听The quality of the mentoring relationship is driven by the mentee. The mentee has an essential and active role to facilitate the professional relationship. The program is from Sept. 24, 2018 to May 3, 2019.
