The Workforce Futures™ Mentorship Program
Someone once helped you find your way. Now you can do the same for a student in nursing, STEM, or public health sciences. Our national mentorship pilot pairs students with experienced professionals and near-peer mentors who have walked the path, about one hour a month.
For students: Want a mentor who’s been where you’re going?
If you’re studying nursing, STEM, or public health sciences, you can be paired with an experienced professional or near-peer mentor in your field. It’s free and takes about one hour a month.
