Young Alumni Learn the Power of Mentoring

The Clark School of Engineering Alumni Chapter is spearheading an initiative to help young alumni advance in their career paths with the advice and counsel of more experienced Clark School graduates. The Young Alumni Mentoring Program will pair alumni who are seasoned engineering professionals with Clark School graduates with less than 10 years experience in the workplace.

Through the program, mentors commit at least three hours each month to work with their protégés, offering advice, sharing personal experiences and acting as sounding boards. The goal is to provide the tools and advice young alumni need to succeed in their careers in an open platform for them to ask questions and receive honest answers.

Both mentors and protégés will sign an agreement that outlines the specifics of the relationship, expectations and logistics as well as individual roles and responsibilities.
