USask’s graduate mentorship program (PhDs - 1st Cohort) provides an opportunity for graduate students (mentees) to receive support and guidance from current professionals (mentors) to enrich their academic and professional journeys. Through these mentoring relationships, graduate students develop and enhance the skills, knowledge, attitudes, and connections they need to support their successful career transitions. 

This application is the first step in the selection process. If selected, prospective mentees may be required to attend an interview and will attend an onboarding session to prepare for participation. Following the onboarding session, selected mentees will be matched one-on-one with alumni or industry-partner mentors based on mutual interests and experiences as well as goal orientation, career path, career values, and education journeys. Application deadline is April 23, 2025. Please answer all questions, providing sufficient details that will help us to provide a suitable mentor-mentee match. Also, remember to upload a copy of your resume or CV and hit submit to be considered for this valuable opportunity.
