APEX Mentoring Program (AMP) 2009 is a FREE*, unique, small-group mentoring program focused on helping young Asian Pacific Americans with their professional and personal development. By matching young professionals and university students with experienced professionals based on common career and community interests, and other relevant criteria, AMP acts as a great bridge for students transitioning from the educational arena to the professional arena, or young professionals making career changes.
AMP 2009 runs from February to May 2009. Each mentorship group will consist of 1 mentor and up to 2 mentees so that mentees will benefit not only from the guidance they receive from an experienced mentor figure, but also the support and camaraderie of a similarly-situated peer.
