COMPETE Mentoring

STEMatch COMPETE provides low-income community college students enrolled in tech programs with the additional work skills training, professional mentoring, and paid internships they need to qualify for - and succeed in - entry-level tech jobs.

COMPETE’s early-career mentoring is an important element of the program, helping students build the kind of “professional capital” critical to starting and building a career in tech.

For COMPETE mentors, a commitment of just a couple of hours each month can have a huge, positive impact on students!

As a COMPETE mentor, you will:

  • Meet (virtually) with your student for 1-2 hours per month from early February through early June.

  • Review your mentee’s resume

  • Conduct some mock interviewing to help your student build and refine their interview skills

  • Offer insights into what the professional work environment is like - and how to succeed in it.
