Or they don't have a clue what career they want. Or they know exactly what they want but don't know how to get there. Through The LookOut Post-College Mentoring Program, young women just beginning their careers are matched with women already in the workforce. This partnership give graduates insight into real world experiences, shows them examples of the often-surprising career paths of successful women, and helps them make more informed decisions. This is a six- month program and can be continued up to a year at the mentee's discretion.
Mentors are all women.
There is no charge for mentors or mentees to participate. Participating Colleges Amherst, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Dartmouth, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, Smith, University of Massachusetts Amherst and Vassar. Students from other schools are welcome to enroll, however, we cannot guarantee you will be matched with a mentor. After completing a career interest profile, participants are assigned a mentor in an industry they want to explore. Through this structured, curriculum-driven personal relationship, students can determine whether they have an interest in a particular field and what steps they need to take to progress towards a job in that industry or company upon graduation.
