Newcomer Application

What is a Mentor

Mentorship is a two-way partnership in which an experienced individual passes their knowledge, experience and professional connections to help a less experienced individual. By having someone to advise and guide you, you can benefit more from their experience than when you are independent.

What is Mentorship

A mentor is someone who supports, advises, guides and provides a newcomer with the right tools to thrive personally or professionally.

What is a Newcomer

This is you! A newcomer is a dedicated student who seeks to grow personally, develop professionally and successfully achieve one’s goals.
