Career Mentors
About the Program
This program pairs current students and recent graduates with alumni who provide guidance in the transition from college to life after Eckerd. Each month, students and alumni mentors will correspond via email and connect by phone, video call, or in-person. Together, Student Mentees and their Career Mentors will identify action items to accomplish each month.
Career Mentors support students by:
Providing positive feedback
Gaining new career-related experiences, such as internships
Finding resources
Polishing career strategies
Connecting with other professional colleagues
Discussing LinkedIn profiles and online presence
