Join the first Career Ready - Success & Growth mentor circle on Thursday, October 10th at 10:00 am!
Meet subject matter experts and hear them discuss career-ready topics in a seminar setting. Program lasts for one-hour, with breakout sessions based on industry sectors half-way through.
Mentor Circles create an exchange of knowledge, ideas, and questions in a more laid-back, classroom like environment allowing for an inclusive experience for all who participate.
For the first half of the session, four subject matter experts from companies including Whiting-Turner, A Wider Circle, Fannie Mae, and ATCC will partake in a panel discussion with questions posed by the Mentor Program Manager. During the second half of the session, there will be four breakout sessions in which subject matter expert (mentor) and students (mentees) will gather to discuss how the topic relates to their specific sector/industry. The objective is to use the information you learned in the first half to have a more focused conversation within the circle.
Potential sample panel questions for the Career Ready - Success & Growth include:
- What significant changes have you experienced during your career?
- Did you ever make a mistake in a job and how did you come back from it?
- Who are some of the most important people who influenced you and your way of thinking? What did you learn from them?
- What are some unique things you did that set you apart from others in your career?
- How do you approach learning in the workplace? A luxury or a priority?
- What does career success look like to you?
- What resources do you use to stay up to date with current technology?
- What conflicts have your experienced while working with people older or younger than you?
