High-quality mentoring can produce positive youth outcomes such as better academic performance, improved relationships with family members and peers, and decreased involvement in unhealthy risky behaviors.
The STEAM Career Mentoring Tool Kit supports Connecticut’s Job and Career Connection which provides tools and links to help students explore educational and training programs that give them the skills that they need to begin a career in their chosen occupation. Positive choices in these areas lead to exciting and fulfilling careers that meet the needs of an emerging and dynamic job market.
Career-Focused Mentoring focuses on career preparation through work-based learning experiences that foster attitudes, skills, and behaviors necessary to meet the changing expectations of the workplace.
This STEAM Career Mentoring Tool Kit is designed to provide mentors like you with information, activities, conversation starters, and resources to promote career path exploration.
Through an effective career mentoring relationship, you can have a significant influence on your mentee’s career exploration, including their career attitudes, beliefs, and motivation to find their passions in a work environment. Your program coordinator is ready to help you with additional information or support. Just ask!
