Become a Mentor

What is a Mentor?

VRC utilizes mentors to assist veterans with their transition to civilian life. As a mentor, you have an opportunity to offer your professional experience in a practical way for the benefit of the veterans. Mentors are not professional advisors, merely a practical resource for those seeking to find answers about a chosen career or profession. By sharing your own expertise and experience, your useful advice can assist veterans with transitioning to a profession or trade of thier choice and help them develop their careers.

Qualities of a Mentor

A positive role model
Strong listening skills
Confident in sharing his/her own work experiences
Comfortable giving advice
Can offer career/job options and suggestions
Good encourager/motivator

What does a Mentor do?

As a Mentor you would be expected to provide career guidance, as well as assistance with resume development, interview practice, job placement, possible business ownership, education and networking. The relationship between a Mentor and a veteran is intended to be a longer term relationship designed to help the veteran secure and excel in a career of their choice.

Veterans Resource Central has prepared a free guide which outlines the responsibilities of a mentor.
