How Does It Work?
Once we get to know a bit more about you, we will pair you up with a mentor that has experience in your field. After we introduce you to your mentor you can set a time convenient for the two of you to meet in person, and then stay in contact via email or phone every couple of weeks to build a relationship. Whenever you find yourself in need of a career-related clarity, or help making a decision, our hope is that you have someone to talk to who can offer insight. They will share their experiences and help you decide what might be best for you. GEM will be there every step of the way to help and insure everyone receives the best guidance possible.
