Mentorship Programs
Find support for every stage of your career, from your first job to your next move.
Our mentorship programs pair accomplished alumni with students and fellow alumni to build meaningful, professional connections. Mentors provide guidance and support as mentees navigate careers, explore new paths, or consider graduate school.
Northwestern Alumni Mentorship Program: Guide fellow alumni or student mentees as they navigate their careers.
Northwestern Externship (NEXT) Program: Help students explore new fields by hosting them at your workplace for this annual one-day job-shadowing program.
Mentor Circles: Lead a small-group discussion with students or alumni on career or industry topics.
I think that people maybe don't realize how valuable it is to have a mentor, especially someone who aligns with your career goals, or maybe just your career interest. I think having that insight and kind of insider information about a career is so valuable.”
Sharmel Gibson ’28, mentee
