Real Industry’s DEI Mentorship program offers unique opportunities to support women and underrepresented minorities through career education, hands-on mentorship from industry leaders, industry connections and experiences. They aim to provide students with their first meaningful industry connections. These connections - to companies, employees, and experiences - offer pathways to future careers.
The mentorship program will remove barriers to access for students and mentors. Through direct interaction with executive mentors from inspiring companies, students will enhance their professional project skills, develop portfolio materials, and establish professional relationships with companies who are looking to hire the brightest, motivated young talent.
As a result of participating in the challenge, students will be more aware of the roles and career paths that exist. They will also have access to mentors who can help guide them through launching their career. Most excitingly, all projects will culminate into a portfolio piece that students can showcase when applying for jobs.
