Corporate Mentor Program

The Corporate Mentor Program (CMP) incorporates an intentional effort to help first-generation, undergraduate students further explore a career direction and become college-to-career ready. First-generation means that neither of the student's parents have graduated with a bachelor's degree.

CMP is a formal mentoring program that focuses on one-on-one relationships to help participating business students develop a professional identity and a clearer vision for their career path.

Requirements

Applicants to the program must be a current Mike Ilitch School of Business undergraduate student and a first-generation college student as defined above.

How to apply

  1. Visit the CMP platform Xinspire to create an account.
  2. Complete the required forms during the account setup process.
  3. After the account is reviewed, students will receive a confirmation email if they are eligible to participate.
  4. Program administrators will match eligible students with their mentors using the Xinspire mentor-matching platform.
  5. Once matched, the student and mentor will receive emailed instructions with next steps.
