Mentor

As a First Global Citizen Mentor, you will be coaching a job seeker throughout their job search journey firsthand. You and your mentee will meet at least once a week for the next 3 months. As a mentor, you will help create a career plan, practice networking, prepare for interviews, research industry-specific information, and provide ongoing job search support. At 3 months you, your mentee, and an First Global Citizen job coach will meet to discuss next steps.
Industries available for coaching are:

Volunteer language coaches work one-on-one with job seekers (in-person or virtually) to help them boost their English language skills and confidence. This will help them not only through the job interview process, but also on the job. Coaching offers an opportunity for job seekers to practice small talk, build vocabulary and grammar, learn industry-specific jargon and acronyms, and improve their speaking confidence. Both coach and job seeker are supported by a training overview that outlines program expectations, as well as lesson guides to provide structure to the meetings. Pairs will meet once a week for 8 total meetings over a 10-week period. Additional contact via phone and/or email is to be expected.
