Engaging Employers in Youth Career Mentoring

Mentorship Plus: Brock University Mentorship Plus is a program designed to assist students with all of the major transitions they face throughout their university career. From when students first set foot on campus until they graduate, we aim to keep students on a path to success throughout their time at Brock, and beyond. Mentorship Plus is offered to students in any program, in each year of their study at Brock. Participants receive training customized to their role in the program in order to ensure they understand the mentoring roles, expected behaviour, and purpose of the program. Senior Students Mentoring First Year Students: First year students are matched with a successful senior student mentor who shares the same area of study as well as similar career goals and/or interests. The goal of this level is to make sure the journey from high school to university is a success. Mentors will share their experiences and help answer any questions their mentees may have about campus life and life in the Niagara Region. Peer to Peer Mentoring Groups: Peer groups consist of 3-4 students in the same area of academic study. In these groups, students will participate in a variety of skill and personal development workshops to assist in clearly defining their personal, career and academic goals. Students in this level can also participate in Brock’s Foundations in Leadership program to help develop their leadership skills.
