The RMIT Career Mentoring Program is our flagship program and allows students to connect with mentors in two ways:

Schedule a one-off meeting with a mentor to discuss a specific topic, or ask about their experience in a certain industry
Request an ongoing partnership, where you will meet with the same mentor regularly over a period of 8 weeks

This program is open to current students and recent graduates (up to 1 year post-graduation).

Apply for 1-to-1 mentoring

Note: Please do not ask your mentor for a job or internship. RMIT Career Mentoring is not a direct resource for finding a job, though it can often help with this down the line.

Participate in an afternoon session of group mentoring with industry professionals from specific industries. Join a small group and meet with 2-3 mentors over 90 minutes to hear about their experiences and ask career-related questions.
