Our mentorship Program Overview
Learning how to navigate the professional world can be an overwhelming step for students and recent graduates. Being able to connect with someone who’s been through similar challenges can make all the difference for young professionals entering the advertising industry. That’s where Ad 2 Austin’s Mentorship Program plays a vital role. We help connect seasoned professionals in the advertising/marketing industry with the next generation of leaders. Through this program, we hope to cultivate career growth for both the Mentor and Mentee.
The Spring Mentorship Program will begin in January 2025 and run through March 2025. Mentors and Mentees must be available to meet at least once a month either in person or virtually. Ad 2 Austin will organize monthly events with focus topics for all Mentors and Mentees to attend.
Applications are closed.
Once applications are submitted, Ad 2 Austin will do their best to pair Mentors and Mentees based upon areas of interest/expertise within the industry (creative, social media, account management, etc.). Pairings will be announced on January 8th, 2025.
