Corporate Representatives - Responsibilities and Opportunities

Corporate representatives are central to the success and scalability of MentorNet, serving the crucial function of recruiting mentors. Representatives sanction the use of employees' time and energy in undertaking e-mentoring, and determine any relevant organizational policies and practices related to supporting employees' participation in the program.
