How Is LIT Career Mentorship Conducted?
MEET-THE-MENTORS SESSION
The LIT Career Mentorship rolls out in-person meet-the-mentors sessions that are industry-specific or generic. The sessions will allow mentees to:
-
Meet the career mentors in a small group setting via a human library format
-
Have their burning questions answered by the career mentors and hear more about the mentors' personal experiences
-
*Be matched with a career mentor at the end of the session for a 4-month mentorship.
*Available for NTUC Starter Members only.
​
4-MONTH MENTORSHIP
Once you are matched with a career mentor after the meet-the-mentors session, you will embark on a 4-month mentorship with them!
​
Set on the goals you wish to achieve during this period and discuss them with your career mentor. Take the journey of self-discovery and have regular check-ins with your career mentor to ensure that you are on the right track.
