Upper year students & Graduate students will engage in a triad-model of mentorship, where they will be matched with another student and an industry professional. With an emphasis on relationship-based networking, you will engage with your group while exploring themed outcomes designed to support and enhance career development.

 I met an incredible mentor who helped me understand the next steps I need to take to succeed in Engineering as an international student.

It was invaluable to make connections with someone who has been in your shoes and can provide insight into possible career paths and any other advice.
