Mentoring Program
The CDP's Career Mentoring Program is an instance where students can explore a professional area of their interest, through a relationship with an alumni from their career, who will guide them in the creation of a professional project and action plan.
UC Mentoring Objectives:
To link students with the world of work, through the relationship with an alumni of their career, who will share their professional trajectory and experience. The student will be able to reflect on his/her professional profile, job interests, explore an area of work and learn about different job search strategies.
This is a 3-month voluntary program. It is carried out in coordination with the academic units. The student will have the opportunity to work together with an alumni of his/her career, the one who works in his/her area of interest. There are 4 meetings through which they will be able to discuss various topics of the world of work, and reflect on their profile and professional project, finally creating action plans for their graduation. It also consists of an initial welcome and training session, both for students and mentors, and a final evaluation session.
Requirements
UC students in their last academic semesters (4th and 5th year of the courses with which the Program is organized) and who have 12 hours available during the semester in which the program is carried out. In addition, registration is required through the Mentorías UC website.

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."
