Seeking Mentors!!

What is College Connection you might ask?

                Well, let's check it out:

The College Connection Progam is an initiative of Fuse DUluth, the premier program for young professionals in the Duluth area. It brings together students from partnering colleges and schools and mentors from our community. The mentor-mentee relationship allows students to get to know professionals in a field related or relevant to their interests, who can provide them with guidance, insight, experiences, and connections that can be pivotal in helping them learn about the world of work and the local employment market. College Connection has been a resounding success since its inception, and along with pairing mentees and mentors, Fuse also hosts several College Connection events each year: the Kickoff, Speed Networking, and the Wrap-Up. College Connection runs concurrent with the typical college calendar year.

What does it take to be a Mentor?

Enthusiam! A willingness to share your professional expertise, and an interest in helping grow young talent.

What are you supposed to do together?

You (and your mentorship partner) decide. It's all on your own terms.

Set goals so that you are both on the same page. Some activities could include, lunch and/or coffee meetings, informational interviews, job shadowing experiences, or just sharing advice, wisdom and knowledge-sharing. See? Nothing too crazy!
