Finding a career mentor

Web-based and print career information can be very helpful when making tough career planning decisions. Informational interviewing and meeting with professionals already in the occupation often proves to be even more useful.

The Career Mentor Program exists to help students meet with professionals in the workplace. Not only are students given the opportunity to ask specific questions about specific occupations and local labour market conditions, they can make valuable professional contacts who can assist them when searching out employment opportunities. The program is particularly important for those who lack personal and professional contacts, and for those who find networking very challenging.

If you would like more information on the Career Mentor Program and/or informational interviewing, drop by the Career Resource Centre or visit the Career Mentor Program website.
