Mentorship

Center for Workforce Development

MentorCHHS takes an interprofessional approach to mentorship by pairing students pursuing health and human services careers with experienced professionals in the field. Students will network with mentors before being paired, allowing them to indicate preferences for their match. Interprofessional mentorship focuses on building professionalism and bridging the gap between the classroom and the workplace.

“ “Interprofessional mentoring encourages professional exchanges between students and staff from different disciplines to enhance students' competencies for collaborative practice.” ”
Deutschlander, S., & Sute, E. (2011). IP mentoring guide. University of New England.
