B.I.G. is excited to partner with our regions high schools to facilitate a mentorship program between B.I.G. members and high school juniors. The program will be highlighted by a day of job shadowing, creating a unique opportunity for the B.I.G. member and the student to converse on a more personal level, while exposing the student to real time activities of their potential career interest. Selected students will choose their career interest and will be matched with B.I.G. member companies.
The job shadowing will take place in the fall of 2025. The students will be required to provide their own transportation.
Students will be invited to a future B.I.G. membership meeting as guests of their BIG Buddy.
The main goals of the program are:
- Provide career advice and mentorship to a student who may not have access to professionals in the career of their choice.
- Forge a relationship with a local student, which can potentially lead to retention of that student as a professional in the Bayou Region.
Please indicate your interest in participating by March 31 by filling out this form.
