Explore the world of work through interaction with a HR professional
Apply textbook concepts to real life situations and gain knowledge from an experienced HR professional’s perspective
Develop and encourage personal and professional growth
Realize the value of networking
The Mentor Program benefits professionals by allowing them to:
Contribute to the professional development of the future HR workforce
Identify potential employees for their own organization
Help students and protégés begin successful careers
Give something back to the HR profession
