ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Despite billions of dollars invested in workforce-aligned education, nearly 40% of recent graduates remain underemployed, with first-generation and underserved students being the most affected. Traditional career services alone can’t close the gap between learning and work.

Mentorship offers the missing link. As a scalable, relationship-centered strategy, structured mentorship helps learners build the confidence, clarity, and social capital they need to navigate career pathways and enter the workforce prepared.

In this session, Emily Barrett, Associate Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Mentor Collective, shares new research and real-world examples illustrating how mentorship strengthens career decision-making, increases engagement with career services, and builds professional skills.
