Where do you fit?

Is there an experience or age limit on being a mentor in Project Excel?

No. There is value in experience no matter what point in your career you’re in. A mentee may be looking for someone who has recently paved the road in establishing their career, or looking for someone who has a lifetime of experience to share.

Is there an experience or age limit to being a mentee in Project Excel?

No. Professional development begins as a student and might not end until it’s time to consider succession planning.

Can I be both a mentor and mentee?

Absolutely! You’re welcome to apply for both roles, just submit one of each application.
