Mentoring Program
The Job Mentoring Program is an initiative of the Professional Development Center, which is carried out in conjunction with different Faculties (generally on a semester basis) that seeks to promote the exploration of job fields of interest to students. This is achieved by linking the student with volunteer professionals who already have work experience, in order to solve frequent doubts about the process of job placement and professional development.
What does it consist of?
The Program consists of the following activities:
Group kick-off meeting: Both mentors and students are trained to make the most of their role. At this stage, the working duos or trios are known.
4 meetings between duos/trios: In these meetings, different essential topics will be discussed to prepare the students’ labor insertion and career development. The conversations will be guided with work material provided by the Professional Development Center.
Closing group meeting: In the final meeting, experiences are shared and the process is evaluated.
Who can participate?
The program is mainly focused on students who are in their last academic semesters (4th and 5th year of the careers with which the program is organized) and who have 12 hours available during the semester in which the program is carried out.

Testimonials
"My participation in the UC Labor Mentoring Program was an excellent opportunity to strengthen my knowledge about the practical practice of the profession, thus complementing theoretical aspects that I have received from both the faculty and the academic unit."
"The program is very versatile and fulfilled all the expectations I had at the beginning, to the point that I wish a new program could be opened and I could participate. The development of this is very easy and interesting, it covers very broad topics that we will be facing in the not so distant future, which have already been experienced by the mentor, who with very good disposition teaches us or tries to insert us in the immense world of work.
"Entering the working world is often scary and that is the feeling I had before I was in the program, but now I have a lot of motivation for the future. I feel more confident and better prepared for what is to come and I am very grateful to my mentor and those who are part of the Professional Development Center team, because they allowed me to open my mind for the different opportunities that may present themselves in a couple of years."
