A program that would have been unthinkable five years ago is strengthening guidance and connections for students pursuing a career in teaching.
The Faculty of Education’s Alumni Network has launched a pilot mentorship program that pairs alumni with York University BEd students to provide career insights and build professional relationships.
“We relaunched the network after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, and we are rebuilding,” says Jason Singh, a 2011 York graduate and director of education for Medix College’s health care programs, who serves as Chair of the group. “Post-COVID, people want to connect and our objective is to engage them and connect them back to the Faculty and York University.”
