Become a Mentor
At Max Bell, students have access to two distinct mentoring programs.
The primary mentorship program allows senior-level professionals in relevant fields to mentor an MPP student throughout the 11 months of the program. Mentors help MPP students develop career management skills and provide firsthand insight into their industry. This provides an opportunity for mentors to gain a new perspective on their work and strengthen their leadership skills.
The micro-mentoring program provides students access to one-time mentoring sessions with entry-level to mid-level professionals in relevant fields. Micro-mentoring sessions allow students to quickly find information that they need or learn a new skill from a specialist. This type of short-term mentoring offers mentors a good deal of flexibility and requires no long-term commitment. It also allows mentors to sharpen skills in which they specialize and connect with multiple students.
