What is LifeWorks® E-mentoring?
LifeWorks® E-mentoring is a free e-mentoring program that helps high school and college students who are interested in behavioral and social science, biomedical science, dental and healthcare careers find a mentor. Mentors are professionals in these fields who volunteer to provide information, guidance, and support as students develop their careers. E-mentoring takes place by e-mails that are routed through a secured Internet Web site managed by the National Institutes of Health. All students and mentors must register at LifeWorks® E-mentoring Web site to participate in the e-mentoring program.
