Mentees

Unleash your potential with a mentor! Together, you'll have the opportunity to explore your career aspirations, identify your strengths and weaknesses, and craft a personalized roadmap for success. This journey involves collaboration: you'll set clear goals with your mentor, develop actionable strategies, and regularly track your progress.

Remember, this is a mentee-led program. The more you actively participate, the more you'll get out of this rewarding relationship. Use these resources to make the most of your partnership with your mentor.
