“There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else.” (George Matthew Adams)

Take a moment to recall someone whose words of wisdom, inspiration or support have made all the difference to your career. Would you like to make that sort of difference to a UWA student?

Career Mentor Link is a program run by the UWA Careers Centre with participation from various UWA faculties. It matches professionals (mentors) with UWA students (mentees), and provides a fantastic opportunity for mentees to gain "real-world" insights and for mentors to share their wisdom and enhance their professional development in areas such as leadership and communication.

Career Mentor Link is not a work experience program but a career mentoring program. The focus is on helping a student develop career management skills, and the role of the mentor is to support, guide and encourage the mentee. In 2007, 18 of the 100 students involved in the program were from the Faculty of Life and Physical Sciences and their mentors came from a variety of organisations in the private and public sectors.

Registrations for the 2008 program are now being taken. Visit www.careermentorlink.uwa.edu.au for further information and the online registration form or contact Jo Hocking, Career Mentor Link Coordinator, on 6488 3799 or at [email protected]

Career Mentor Link is available to industry professionals residing in WA with a minimum four years in the workforce.
