Supporting Higher Ed to Unlock Career-Ready Skills for Students
Sometimes the hidden curriculum is too hidden. As educators, it is a challenge to ensure students learn not only the formal content but also the unspoken skills and expectations crucial for success after graduation. That is where The Intern Mentor comes in.
Our programs are based on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Career Readiness Competencies. These competencies define the key skills employers expect from new graduates and include critical thinking, communication, teamwork, professionalism, and more. They ensure students gain practical abilities to succeed in today’s workplace.
Whether through engaging talks, interactive question and answer sessions, hands-on workshops, custom course development, or strategic consulting, everything we offer is designed to adapt to your campus’s unique needs.
Together, we help fill critical gaps in career readiness, boost student confidence, and prepare future professionals for success.
