Mentees engage in the program over an 8-week period, with aims to further develop employability skills, networking and industry awareness. The objectives of the program is to give students the opportunity to demonstrate and apply experiential learning and achieve increased readiness to enter the workforce through development of a mentor relationship.
How will I benefit?

It will give both partners the opportunity to develop planning and prioritising skills to engage successfully in the program, as well as contributing positively to both participant’s learning, communication and knowledge building skills.
