Huskie-2-Huskie (H2H) Mentoring Program: Student Information

Try out NIU’s new H2H Mentoring Program!   H2H pairs students (mentees) with alumni (mentors) who want to provide career advice.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Mentoring can be:

• a one-time phone call
• IM chat
• in-person meeting about a specific career question you might have

Mentoring can also be an ongoing relationship in which you

• talk periodically with your mentor
• attend Huskie-2-Huskie mentoring events
• even visit your mentor’s workplace

READY TO PARTICIPATE?  FOLLOW THESE THREE STEPS:

1. H2H Mentee Agreement - You must complete the Mentee Agreement in order to participate.
2. On-line Tutorial - (10 minutes with audio) . . . OR . . . use the Quick Start Guide - print a copy to help you navigate H2H
3. Log in to the Huskies Get Hired! system and select, "Huskie-2-Huskie" from the black toolbar at the top of the page.

Optional Resource for using the H2H Mentor Program

• The Mentor/Mentee Action Plan - if you need ideas on setting up meetings with your mentor

Please keep in mind that H2H is NOT a job placement service, and H2H mentors are not expected to offer or find you a job.   Instead, H2H provides access to career information, which can help you

• explore industries
• make decisions
• build a professional network

H2H can benefit all students, regardless of where you are in your career journey—it’s never too early to invest in your career development.
