You’re a top student, so why does starting your first job feel like square one?
Join us on 12 September 2025 for Enhance Your Mentoring, a virtual seminar and networking event designed to help students prepare for transitioning from academic success to workplace impact through the power of mentorship. Learn how mentors, not just managers or trainers, can guide your leap from mastering the science of engineering to thriving in the art of professional practice. Hear from expert mentor, CEO, and National Academy of Engineering inductee John McDonald to demystify how to develop an effective mentoring connection, see real mentoring in action in a live mentoring showcase, and connect with future mentors and peers in a post-session virtual networking hall.
This event targets IEEE-HKN students interested in finding mentors and IEEE professionals interested in mentoring, and is designed to provide meaningful insights to new and experienced mentoring participants alike. We will use this event to open the registration for the 2026 IEEE-HKN Graduate Student to Professional Mentoring Programs, our highly rated, HKN-mediated mentoring program that pairs HKN students with domain leaders to kick-start young careers. Your next step starts here. Register today >>
