Overview

Mentoring plays an important role in employee engagement and retention, contributes significantly to individual and organizational productivity, and make employees feel valued.

Students participating in EOSD have the opportunity to participate in a self-directed mentoring program, designed to support students in:

• Developing a career path
• Assisting the mentee to develop cognitive skills
• Learning to network
• Developing a specific skill that the mentor and mentee agree on

Only students registered with EOSD can participate in the mentorship program. Once registered, students will receive information on how to get started and find a mentor. Please visit our EOSD GC Pedia page (only available on the GC intranet) for more information.
