The intent of the program is to help guide your mentee through
situations and questions they’ll be facing as they progress through
their collegiate experience into the workforce. This is NOT intended to
get your mentee a job with your company, but
should the situation present itself, that
would be OK too.
Here’s a brief of what’s planned for the program:
The goal of this program is to give the actives an avenue
to obtain guidance and feedback from someone that has experienced what
they’re about to go through; from completing
their degree to landing a job. The relationship could also continue
beyond that but that would be up to the individuals. The approach would
be to match actives with volunteer alumnae based on degree plan of the
active and career of the alumni. The communications would be through
email and phone calls with face-to-face meetings depending on the
location of participants. There would be a topic sent out periodically
to both the active and the alumni meant to provoke thought and guide
them through this process. Each relationship will develop its own
course, the topics are meant as a guide not a mandate.
Here’s an initial draft of the topics:
- Introductions…getting to know one another
- Plan for the relationship and set goals
- Resume review
- Short-term career goals
- Grad school or a job (seniors)
- Internship/summer plans (juniors)
- Long-term career goals
- Progress/evaluation
- Interviewing skills
- Job search etiquette
- Handling job offers
- Networking to find a job
- Maintaining the relationship
Please take the time to consider this and contact
me here or call
if you would like to volunteer.
