Mentorship can be a transformative force in a college student’s career development, offering personalized guidance, skills development, and support that helps bridge the gap between academic learning and professional success. Furthermore, mentors can help a student build a network of professional contacts that can open doors to future opportunities and give them the information they need to make informed decisions about their career paths.
LEADconnect, a service of the college’s Business LEAD student professional development program, has launched a refreshed web and mobile experience to facilitate mentorships between students and alums and friends. LEADconnect features functionality for quick and informal Q&As, general and affinity-based networking, and “flash” mentor/mentee relationships.
