Top Reasons to Join the Network
- Networking
I’m sure you’ve heard it before: Networking is the first step in any job application. You know you should be networking, but it can be intimidating if you're unsure of where to start, who to reach out to, or what to say. The Bronco Mentoring Network provides you an avenue to connect with alumni professionals in a virtual format. Search by industry, employer, major, and more! You can set up video calls or message alumni directly from the platform.
- Landing Your First Job/Advancing Your Career
80% of jobs and internships coming from referrals, students need to build relationships that lead to opportunities. Cal Poly Pomona Bronco Mentoring Network helps you connect with alumni who have been in your shoes and have faced the same challenges you will. Wondering where alumni who graduated with similar majors currently work? Explore career opportunities and ask alumni industry and employer related questions.
- Join a community
Communities allow alumni and students with similar interests/affinities to connect in a group setting. Feeling a bit intimidated by connecting with alumni professionals? Communities allow you to connect in an informal discussion board format. Ask questions or post discussion topics that can be answered by any member of the community.
- Alumni Want to Help!
Don’t forget, every mentor on the platform volunteered to sign up because they want to pay it forward and help a fellow Bronco. Utilize your Cal Poly Pomona resources while obtaining your degree and continue to utilize the platform and build your network beyond graduation.
