I learned how useful LinkedIn is. From curating my profile after the program, I have been reached out to by different employers, so it’s been a great medium to meet new people and network.

Mentors share their experience

Through the discussions you have with your mentee, you also reflect on your own career and the path you have taken. It’s very fulfilling to see your mentee take your perspective and ideas with them and put them into action.
