MyMentorLink.com Enters Strategic Partnerships With Boston Companies to Simplify Career Exploration Process for High School Students

Waltham, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2012 -- MyMentorLink.com, a startup that helps high school students explore careers through job shadowing opportunities, enters strategic partnerships with Big Belly Solar, Millennium Partners, Commonwealth Financial Group and Revere Journal.

"Partnering with companies allows us to expand our offerings for students in a variety of industries and offer excellent opportunities for high school students in the Greater Boston community, says CEO and co-founder Gil Duzanski.

MyMentorLink’s job shadowing program immerses each student in a professional setting where they are exposed to the day-to-day operations of their preferred field. This exposure gives the students participating in MyMentorLink’s job shadowing program a ground-level view of their career interests while providing them with a real-world education about the professional workforce and their given career.

MyMentorLink.com collaboration platform helps high school juniors and seniors narrow their career interest by facilitating student exposures to a succession of authentic jobs, sectors, and industries. The participants’ college search, application, and early years as a college student thereby become more focused having already been exposed to their career choices. This perspective allows students participating in the MyMentorLink program to focus their career choices earlier while giving their course work context that is both meaningful and relevant.
