YWCC Mentoring Program
About
The YWCC Mentoring Program is an extracurricular activity welcome to all students interested in further developing academically and professionally in computing.
As a student-run program, mentors will be working together to create dynamic and interactive workshops, panels, and discussion sessions relating to topics in career development, collaborative projects, personal branding, networking, and opportunities inside and outside of NJIT.
We encourage and welcome students who are not mentors or mentees to attend our general body meetings and progress further in the realm of computing. Altogether, every student will gain the skills necessary to be leaders, innovators, and accomplish their goals by having a focus on professional development, academic success and mentoring relationships.
Mentors
We are looking for mentors who aren't experts, but have a passion for computing, learning, contributing to YWCC, and are open-minded. Peer mentors will be working together to create dynamic and interactive workshops, panels, and discussion sessions relating to topics in career development, academics, projects, personal branding, networking, and opportunities inside and outside of NJIT. If you are interested in working in a collaborative environment with other tech enthusiasts, join now :)
Mentees:
- Unsure of your major?
- How to get started in the professional industry?
- Need course assistance?
Our purpose is to assist students to continue their growth by improving on their current skills and building new ones in the field of computing. Students attending the Ying Wu College of Computing voluntarily apply to become mentors. Many of them have been in your footsteps and it's with their enthusiasm they share their experiences in the professional industry, college life, and obstacles they have gone through to excel in the computing realm. This is a flexible program to meet your needs and help you get a seat at the table.
