Employment-Based Mentorship Opportunity from NEXT Connects

Posted by Jessica Stasik on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 in Academics and HE Professionals, Business and Management, News.

NEXT is once again recruiting students to participate in their FREE co-mentorship program. In 2024, more than 60 universities partnered with NEXT, and they’ve made over 100 student-mentor matches! Participants are matched with established professionals trained in neuroinclusion, and meet virtually for 8 conversations between now and September. The program is flexible, free, and fully virtual — making it easy to fit into a student’s schedule.

Students will:

• Gain real-world career insights
• Build confidence and communication skills
• Connect with mentors who value neurodiversity
• Earn a certificate of completion for LinkedIn/resumes

Whether students are exploring options or preparing to enter the workforce, this program offers a meaningful opportunity to grow in a space that understands and supports them.
