Students at Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) who attend the
Rinker School of Business have started a speed-mentoring program.
“The session was a great way to interact with the mentors
and see what they are like in person versus whatever information I can read
about them online,” PBA junior Kayleen Smith said. “I hope to learn how to
deal with stressful and difficult situations at work and how to balance
work and my personal life.”
The program helps students majoring in business pair with business professionals who will be able to help them with career exploration and development.
“My life would not be where it is today if I were not
mentored by other bright and successful business men during my undergrad and
graduate years,” Josué Léon, student and volunteer
mentor, said.
The mentoring program, in its third year, uses the speed-dating concept.
“Many of the mentors were involved in careers that I did not
even know existed,” PBA junior Emily Freeman said. “I was also able to gain a
lot of knowledge simply through the quick interactions, which made me even more
excited to be part of program.”
