In 2009, Thompson Rivers University created a Career Mentoring Program to bring career development expertise, from mentors' personal experiences, to students through career mentoring activities. This session will outline the evolution of the program, the mistakes and partnerships that influenced the evolution, and how a formal applied research project solidified the learning program organizers assumed was happening.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Learn innovative and replicable applied research on career mentoring programs;
  • Empowering alumni as co-career educators – the partnership and preparation;
  • Review strategies to increase student's career knowledge, confidence and action
