Would
you like to help today's QUT students get a practical start to understanding the
workplace?
The
QUT Career Mentor Scheme (an initiative of the QUT Alumni) program introduces Alumni and industry professionals to current students in order to act as a mentor offering:
- support
- industry perspective
- encouragement
No promise of
employment is required in a mentoring relationship.
Typical activities
include:
- 'shadowing'
the mentor at work;
- observing workplace
or professional meetings;
- participating
in work activities;
- arranging an
activity with another professional or organisational member;
- discussing contemporary
issues over lunch or coffee;
- sounding a student's
assessment solution against a mentor's practical knowledge.
How
much time will it take?
As a general guide,
mentors and students make contact for approximately one hour/fortnight.
