Mentoring Objectives & Scope

Providing a broad landscape view of the technology corporate landscape, company introductions, and deep-dive into skills for success in the space. Every student has a different set of expectations from a mentor based on their own experiences, life circumstances and goals. I believe that the best way to mentor is to listen to the goals of the students first, have them define the core agenda for the year, and then search for the best speakers and content to help them realize those goals, while also collaboratively learning from each other too.

As a mentor, I can support students in the following: 

- Resume review, interview prep, LinkedIn branding
- Career exploration, matching interests and talents with professions and industries
- Student transition from college to first professional role
- Building technical or subject matter expertise (hard skills)
- Improved communication and interpersonal skills
- Development of leadership skills, confidence, and executive presence
- Expanding a network, building connection, navigating an organization
- Helping entrepreneurial students define a business or product and business plan
- Career Pivot - transition to new role, career, and industry
- Claude Cowork for workflow automations

When and where do you hold meetings with your students?
