How Is LIT Mentorship Conducted?

-
Meet the Career Guides in a small group setting via a human library format
-
Have their burning questions answered by the Career Guides and hear more about the Career Guides' personal experiences
-
*Be matched with a Career Guide at the end of the session for a 4-month mentorship period.
*Available for NTUC Union Members and NTUC Starter Members only.
