"Career Launch" Program Assistant / Mentor
-
Jan 2023 - Jan 2023
Acted as a mentor for students participating in the 3-week "Career Launch" program, in which students worked collaboratively in small groups on a single "personal project" of their own design, relatively independently. This program provided students with basic weekly "benchmarks" to meet in addition to their own set goals, and gave guidance in finding and accessing online resources and materials to learn and achieve their goals on the project. My role was to check in with student groups on a weekly basis, providing technical guidance, feedback, and encouragement to ensure group's projects progressed smoothly, and to be available for questions/provide additional assistance outside of these weekly meetings as necessary.
