The TeamUP mentoring program helps in the transformation of Rutgers Business school students into responsible business professionals. Students accepted into the program consult one-on-one with a business professional to obtain insights into the industry as well as guidance on professional planning. The mentoring relationships explore topics such as career pathways, networking, and skill building. Mentoring is an impactful way for students to extend learning beyond the four walls of a classroom and for mentors to give back and aid in the development of students. Wherever you are in your professional or student journey, TeamUP can help you advance toward your goals.

“TeamUp was so valuable because my mentor not only taught me business and professional skills, but life skills as well. This program made me comfortable speaking with professionals and gave me the resources necessary to prepare for my future. The time commitment was great because, as a student, I did not feel overwhelmed by the deadlines, but I was still able to form a great relationship with my mentor. I am grateful that this program introduced me to a wonderful resource to go to for advice not only in the business world but with academics and life in general.”

“Pairing experienced professionals with students provides the students with an invaluable opportunity to expand their networks and receive guidance on how to develop career plans and strategies early in their work lives. In addition, the students can receive guidance on how concepts and principles they learn in the classroom are applied in an actual work environment, which can enhance their learning experience. The benefit I get from this program is the enjoyment of passing along my experience to the mentees so they can avoid mistakes I made early in my career.”
