An industry mentor uses their professional knowledge and experience to support the growth and success of their student mentee. A mentor provides an objective or independent view on challenges during study and making the transition into professional life.

A mentee is a student who is seeking advice, support and guidance from an industry mentor as they transition from university into the next phase of their career. By connecting with a mentor, mentees build their industry networks, develop employability skills, and explore new opportunities and career paths.
