Mentors help young people set career goals and start taking steps to realize them.
Mentors can use their personal contacts to help young people meet industry professionals, find internships and locate job possibilities.
Mentors introduce young people to professional resources and organizations they may not know about.
Mentors can help their mentees learn how to seek and keep jobs.

Remember what it was like looking for your first part-time job? How’d you go about creating your career goals? What helped you when being interviewed for a job? Who do you know that could be a resource for a youth looking at different career fields?

What guidance can you give, as a mentor, to give support in preparing a youth for the workplace?
