Mentorship Speed Dating: Connecting Students to the Workforce

We’ve designed this as a high-energy, low-commitment experience:

• Mentors will be seated while students rotate every 5 minutes
• Each interaction is a chance to share your background, offer advice and get to know the student
• At the end, both mentors and students will rank their top connections
• We will match pairs based on mutual interest and availability

From there, the relationship is flexible:

• It can be as simple as occasional career guidance
• Or evolve into a more structured mentorship with periodic meetings

Students will be responsible for scheduling time during your designated availability (“office hours”), ensuring minimal disruption to your schedule.

The goal of this pilot event is straightforward:

Conexión is built on three pillars:

1. Workshops & Panels (already established)
2. Mentorship (this event)
3. Internships & Shadowing (targeting Summer 2027)

This first cohort is laying the foundation. If we can successfully connect students with professionals like you, we will have achieved a meaningful step toward building a long-term workforce pipeline in Montgomery County.

We’re looking to bring together professionals across all industries and experience levels. There is:

• No membership requirement
• No long-term obligation
• Just an opportunity to show up, share your experience, and potentially change a student’s trajectory
