Mentor Program
The Manhattan Mentor Program is one of Manhattan University’s most popular and successful career development programs. The Manhattan Mentor Program is a vibrant program where student mentees are paired with alumni mentors in their desired field for a curated mentorship experience over the course of the academic year.
The Jasper Career Network is our web-based platform which hosts the “Manhattan Mentor Program” in addition to other tools- including a LinkedIn-like directory for students and alumni.
All students and alumni are encouraged to create a profile on the Jasper Career Network regardless of whether or not they are involved in the Mentor Program.
Aside from orientation, the meet and greet networking night, milestone activities, checkpoint surveys, and the closing dinner and awards ceremony, all activities are up to the mentor-mentee pairs based on their agreed upon goals and schedules.
Mentoring activities typically include:
- shadowing your mentor at their workplace
- reviewing your resume
- participating in a mock interview
- discussing career goals, job expectations and employment trends
- attending a networking event
- taking a company tour
- contributing to a company project
- attending a company meeting
- participating in a professional development workshop together
The application for the 2024-2025 Mentor Program is open now through Sunday, September 29th.
General inquiries about the program may be directed to the Center for Career Development at (718) 862-7224 or careerdevelopment@manhattan.edu.
