Lerner Executive Mentoring Program

The Lerner Executive Mentoring Program matches Lerner students with executives whose professional backgrounds are complementary to the students’ career objectives.
Mentors come with 10 or more years of progressive career experience and passion to help our students succeed.
Mentorships have resulted in an increase in student confidence in entering the workforce, expansion of networks and overall professional growth.
To join the program as a mentee or mentor, follow the steps below:
- Register online through the UD Career Acceleration Network (UD CAN). Click on the green “join program” button to begin registration.
- Mentors can set up an account using a current LinkedIn user ID or other email address.
- To complete the registration, follow the prompts to answer the registration questions; this should only take a few minutes to complete.
After you register and successfully complete the registration questions, you will receive the following message: “Your profile is pending approval.” You will receive an email once your registration is confirmed.
If you need more information about the program, we’ve put together some frequently asked questions.
