Student & Young Professional Mentorship
Here at MAPP, we know the first step to a robust mentorship program is creating ACCESS.
ACCESS to introductions, a vast network, key contacts, and experts sharing knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Beyond the one-on-one mentorship relationship, we connect you to the people you need to know, when you need it, whether that be one-time or ongoing, live or virtual.
+Externships: As a student/young professional you have the potential for an externship through the MAPP Educational/Scholarship Fund
Nathaly Quintanilla, Texas Champion of USA Skills, was awarded a three-day externship paired with one of her culinary idols in NYC with MAPP sponsors covering travel & logistics for Nathaly to receive this educational experience.
Join our mentorship program as a MENTEE to learn from those who have been there, and done that -- unlocking so many possibilities for you. Don't be afraid to take the first step -- we'll do the heavy lifting to create a seamless experience.
