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.
