SYC Mentorship Program
The SYC Mentorship Program is a community based program which encourages existing and aspiring professionals to share insight and knowledge of various career paths. Through this program, participants have the opportunity to establish and build an active alumni network.
Who is it for?
This program is for 2nd, 3rd or 4th year students of a post-secondary institution in Calgary with a desire to gain a better understanding of your current courses, potential career paths, and job requirements. We pair each student with an industry professional with two (2) or more years of experience. A minimum commitment of two (2) hours per month is required from both mentors and mentees.
“Great program! This is a great way to get the community together and help the youth with their decision making. I enjoyed being a mentor and will definitely encourage other mentees/mentors in our community to join. The communication was clear and the programs were well organized.”
