We will provide unique learning opportunities to mentees that are often times over-looked within the school’s standard curriculum. The following examples are just some of the unique experiences mentees can look forward to learning about in 1-on-1 or group settings:

  1. Creating SMART goals

  2. Successful networking

  3. Emerging industries

  4. Resume writing

  5. Interview skills

  6. Dinner etiquette

  7. The art of negotiating

  8. Financial literacy

  9. Presentation skills

  10. Dress for success

  11. Playing sports in college (recruiting, combines, school visits, clearinghouse)
