The Mentorship Program is an exciting, work-based learning experience available to highly motivated students during their senior year. The one semester course gives students the opportunity to work in a chosen occupation side by side with mentors who are willing to share their knowledge and experience. Mentors provide opportunities for the student to experience/observe typical interactions on the job and help the student understand the importance of technical skills as well as workplace "soft skills." The mentorship coordinator visits periodically to discuss experiences and assess progress. At the conclusion of the experience students share a presentation describing what they learned during the experience and how it has impacted their career plans. This valuable experience facilitates students making well-informed decisions regarding their future career and the skills, education, and training required. 

Mentorship is a competitive program and open to highly motivated seniors from all Augusta County high schools. Submission of an application does not guarantee enrollment. Enrollment is based upon attendance, academic performance, interview, good standing status with the school, and availability of an appropriate placement.

The mentorship application portal has closed for the 2023 -2024 school year. The application portal will tentatively open in November 2023 for the 2024- 2025 school year.
