The Northwest Vista College Business Council is seeking employee alumni mentors and coaches to help expand the Business Leader Career Coaching program.
Participants will be matched with a Student Development instructor and his or her class for one semester. Each coach or mentor will coordinate meetings or presentations with the class of first-year college students four times during a semester to share knowledge and personal experiences about college life and career success planning.
Vista alumni, employed at NVC, offer a perspective unlike any other for students new to the college landscape. The Career Coaching program fosters academic and professional development through the building of student/mentor relationships.
Since 2015, approximately 500 students have participated in the program. Past mentors have included 21 community leaders from 17 area businesses.
Coaching and mentoring session topics can include:
- Goal Setting
- Career Development / Resume Writing
- Financial Literacy
- Interpersonal Communication
- Ethical Decision Making
