This program was developed to help connect current students with alumni and friends of The University of Montana. Our goal is to help students learn about the professional world of work by talking to experienced professionals currently in that field.
Students contact our office to request a match with an alumnus.
The students completes a form that let us know a little bit about their occupational interests, career goals etc. Next a search the alumni database is performed. At the appointment, our office staff provides the student with the alumnus contact information, handouts about how to conduct an informational interview and questions to ask. The purpose of the informational interview is not a job referral. The handouts and office appointment help them prepare to talk to you.
