Real World Academy:
- Real World Academy lets any high school student or parent hire an "Agent," a customized counselor and life coach. But simply having an agent does not mean that you will succeed. Students need to take initiative and self-actualize.
- Real World Academy is unique in its industry ties. We will help any of our interested students find an internship or a mentor.
Topics:
- Why is it important to have a mentor? What advantages do mentors confer? Are there different types of mentors? Career mentor, motivational mentor, teacher? Can a teacher or a professor be a mentor?
- How to find a mentor. Does this happen organically or are there organizations to help you find mentors? Does a mentor's interests or skills have to exactly match yours? Can you have more than one mentor?
- Timing. At what stage in your life would you benefit from a mentor?
What should the expectations be of a good mentor? How much is too much to expect? Can they help you get a job, or does their access to the industry give you opportunities you might not have had?
