Have any additional questions about the career mentorship program? Find your answer here or reach out to the Program Coordinator at mentorship@bcitsa.ca.
Mentees will bring with them at least 3 goals they want to work on with you. This could include exploring the industry, expanding their knowledge on the industry, improving their networking skills, creating a portfolio or updating their resume and cover letter.
Your mentee is the one leading the relationship. They will be in contact with you to schedule all meetings and will include an agenda for the meeting. The two of you will decide where it’s best to meet. We suggest having a conversation about this in your first meeting. Be sure to meet somewhere that is convenient for both of you.
You could meet your mentee at a coffee shop, library, your office, or at BCIT.
