HOW CAN A
CAREER MENTOR
HELP YOU?
Mentoring connects you (the mentee) with an
experienced industry professional (the mentor) who
shares their knowledge, skills and experience to give
you the competitive edge for a successful career.
Kylie, USQ mentee
‘Being able to see how the industry I’m interested in really
works, being able to speak with people working in different
roles within the industry and having a person who, I feel,
genuinely wants me to succeed at uni and beyond, are all
tremendous benefits of the USQ Mentoring Program.’
