While every student could benefit from a mentor, students say few university programs can top the impact having a business professional as a mentor can make. Surveys confirm that executives who had a mentor earn more money at a younger age, are more likely to follow a career plan, and, in return, mentor others. Studies also show that managers who had a mentor, compared to those who did not, displayed higher levels of job satisfaction and a higher promotion rate.*
