Mentoring

 

Many CPCS students have career related questions about the public and community sector . As a CPCS graduate working in the field----YOU may be the person with the answers for our inquiring students. It might be a student seeking advice on which course or field work is more pertinent to their chosen career---it could be a student who is job hunting and seeking additional information about a specific agency or organization----or it could be an almost grad wanting to shadow a professional for a day to gain a better understanding of what a particular position really entails and learn about opportunities available in that field.

 

You could be the person with the answers. Your involvement could be a simple as a few minute phone conversation---- answering a question or two for a student, or it could be as involved as spending several hours having a student shadow you on the job. The level of involvement is up to you.

 

Please help us compile a directory of CPCS grads working in a wide variety of positions and willing to spend some time with CPCS students ---sharing their expertise to guide that student in career making decisions. If you are interested, please email me at suzanne.allmendinger@umb.edu and tell me the ways you are interested in participating in our mentoring program , give me your job title and the organization you work for and tell me the best way to get in touch with you: day/evening phone, e-mail.
