THE PROBLEM
Mentorship is one of the most powerful career tools. And most people never get it.
Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not. The students who get ahead often do because someone took the time to show them the way. That connection should not depend on where you grew up, who your parents know, or what school you attended.
