Mentor Program
The Manhattan Mentor Program is one of Manhattan College’s most popular and successful career development programs. The Manhattan Mentor Program is a formal, cohort-based program where student mentees are paired with an alumni mentor in their desired field for a curated mentorship experience over the course of the academic year.
The Jasper Career Network is our web-based platform which hosts the formal “Manhattan Mentor Program” in addition to other tools- including a LinkedIn-like directory for students and alumni to connect for one-off flash mentoring opportunities.
All students and alumni are encouraged to create a profile on the Jasper Career Network regardless of whether or not they are involved with the formal, cohort-based mentor program.
Aside from a virtual orientation, several milestone activities, and checkpoint surveys, all activities are up to the mentor-mentee pairs to fit their agreed upon goals and schedules.
Mentoring activities typically include:
- shadowing your mentor at their workplace
- reviewing your resume
- participating in a mock interview
- discussing career goals, job expectations and employment trends
- attending a networking event
- taking a company tour
- contributing to a company project
- attending a company meeting
- participating in a professional development workshop together
The Manhattan Mentor Program is an excellent way for alumni to give back to Manhattan College and have a positive impact on younger Jaspers.
The application for the 2024-2025 Mentor Program is open now through Sunday, September 8th.
