Career mentor applications

Career Mentors must first be Career Contacts in TritonTrack. Career Contacts make themselves available to answer student questions about their field and, if they wish, provide additional professionalization opportunities.

If you are interested in being a Career Mentor, reach out to careercenter@eckerd.edu.

Please note as we are currently in the recruiting process for the program for specific areas, we may not be able to take everyone who raises their hand to ensure the quality of the program for both alumni and students.

They represent employers across non-profits, private companies, education, and government sectors.

Please use this interactive site to keyword search the Career Mentors. You may search by Employer, Title, Major, or other Eckerd categories (i.e. Ford Scholar, Athlete, Resident Advisor). When interested, click on the Career Mentor's name and read more about them.

Students are encouraged to read through all mentors that interest them, not just the ones in their area. Students are allowed to choose a mentor that is outside of their major.
