Please remember that our alumni mentors are volunteers, therefore there may be limited availability of mentors in certain schools and colleges. We cannot guarantee that you will be matched in a specific timeframe. Welcome to the Alumni Mentor Program (AMP) facilitated by the Alumni Association of University of Phoenix. We’re thrilled to have you join as a mentee.
This is completely at the discretion of the mentor and mentee. Many work together for a very short time, others remain in contact for years. Additionally, both mentors and mentees can cancel a mentorship at any time for any reason.
Reach out to the Alumni Mentor Support team and a mentor handbook will be provided to you.
The second step is to begin mentoring with a mentee. The mentor handbook will help you understand and prepare for your role. Mentorships require your time, patience, and enthusiasm.
Great! The University provides numerous resources to help you with this. But an alumni mentor's role is not to search for a job for you, nor can the Alumni Mentor Program promise that job placement will be the outcome you achieve from a mentorship. Mentorships are about motivation, knowledge sharing and networking. To drive your job search, please use the PhoenixLink Job Search tool offered by University of Phoenix. The Job Search tool holds more than one million open job positions. If you have a few job postings in mind that you would like to apply to, a mentor can certainly discuss them with you.
