Get a Mentor
Students all over the country are starting to feel the financial pain and pressure of skyrocketing college tuition fees. With diminishing financial aid, including federal, state, and university funds, how are students expected to get through school without incurring massive amounts of debt?
I came across a pretty sweet program called Get a Mentor, which is actually a mentorship specialized program, meaning students are placed with a mentor to receive one-on-one training.
Now, why would one want complete a mentorship rather than traditional higher education? Well for one, students only pay a one time fee of $6,000 (much less than most universities charge for one semester’s tuition). Second, you gain relevant work experience in a field in which you want to pursue a career. Currently, Get a Mentor offers mentorships in the industries of sound/recording engineering, film and video production, and radio and television broadcasting. Similar to a radio or broadcasting internship, the mentorship is unpaid but Get a Mentor has a staggering 100% job placement for students who complete the program. How many college grads have that guarantee?
