Mentorship Opportunities

Mentorship

Industry mentors can be a resource for career advice and discernment. Connecting with a mentor is different from meeting from a recruiter or setting up an interview for a job. Being respectful of your mentor’s time and expertise and responding with curiosity and humility as they share their experiences can be a powerful way for you to learn how to navigate the industry!

Looking for a mentor?
