The Mentor Program is one of Manhattan College’s most popular and successful career development programs. As a participant, you will be matched with a professional mentor (often a Manhattan College alum) who works in your intended industry or career, and you will spend the year learning about opportunities within the field. Aside from required orientations, a meet-and-greet and an end-of-year dinner, all activities are up to the mentor and mentee.
Scheduled activities typically include:
- shadowing your mentor at his/her 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 Mentor Program is also an excellent way for alumni to give back to Manhattan College and have a positive impact on younger Jaspers.
