WHAT MENTORS DO
Mentors share their knowledge and offer their time and support to help mentees:
- Grow their skills
- Achieve their own personal visions of success
Mentors provide:
- Real-life, tangible suggestions
- Insights that mentees can leverage to overcome challenges and reach professional goals
WHO MENTORS ARE
Mentors are mission-aligned volunteers who want to give back to those who are earlier on in their careers. Many of our mentors are existing operators in their field — from entrepreneurs, to business executives, to engineers.
To participate in The Forem’s mentor program, mentors must have a minimum of 15 years of professional experience, guaranteeing a certain level of foresight, expertise, and lived wisdom when advising mentees.
