About Us

We ask that both the mentor and the mentee spend approximately one year in the program.  Please note our year is coordinated with the school system, operating from July to June.  Although, this program is a continually running program.

The mentor will guide the mentee through a series of activities such as a plant tour, mock job interview, or answer questions about a particular career.  The mentee is free to gather information from their mentor to make decisions about their career path.  A mentee can put as much into the program as their time allows.  It is a great way to build your network for possible talent pipelines that are available upon graduation or completion of a degree, or skilled trades program.

For both the mentor and the mentee, the program should take about 8-20 hours over the course of an year.  We find that most mentors plan about one to two hours a month to guide the mentee and answer their questions.

We ask that you reach out to your mentor or the GLBMA office and let me know about your dilemma.  We may have another mentor for you.  But at least we know that you are not going to continue with the program and can stop contacting you. 

We may schedule certain events for you to attend through out the year.  But these are not required. 

We are not able to provide personal transportation to and from meetings with your mentors.  We  will cover transportation to and from an offsite coordinated event leaving from a designated point using mass transit.  There is no fee involved to join the program.
