Alumni Mentorship Experiences
Through the Alumni Mentorship Program, TedPack Mentors are paired with accomplished Ted Rogers School alumni who offer valuable guidance, industry insights, and career support. Whether it’s refining goals, navigating university life, or gaining real-world perspectives, these one-on-one connections help students build confidence and clarity from day one. Powered by Fit for Business, this program bridges the gap between classroom and career - one conversation at a time.
Hear the reflections from both mentees and mentors on how this experience helped them grow - personally and professionally.
TedPack Mentors
"The mentorship program made a significant impact on me. Talking with my mentor helped me clarify my goals and feel more confident in my decisions. Our chats felt genuine and helpful, and my mentor encouraged me to continue growing by challenging myself. I am grateful for the connection we made, and I recommend any student to participate in this experience."
"The mentorship program helped me get back on track with some of my goals. From feeling lost and alone, I suddenly had the opportunity to seek career advice from someone who was once in my shoes. The program allows for genuine networking and communication!'
"My mentor is always in my corner and would always check in with me and support me. Personal or professional questions were always welcome. Having a mentor means having someone who is rooting for you and gives you insights into whatever you need. Even post-program, I still text her updates about where I am!"
"I loved working with my (alumni) mentor, learning about her experience and her journey helped me find my path. Even if we didn't always talk about interviews or school we had so much fun just catching up, talking and learning about each other."

"Our school gave me so much during my time as a student, so it only feels right to pay it forward as much and as often as possible. The Fit for Business mentorship program was a fulfilling and rewarding opportunity to give back to the current generation of students and I can't wait to do it again! TMU says jump, I say how high."

"I think this program was great, both of my mentees expressed that they found our meetings very beneficial. I would have loved to participate in a program like this during my undergrad, so I was happy to take part in this way!"
Lead IT Scrum Master - RBC
"I personally really enjoyed being part of Fit for Business. It allowed me to make a positive impact on some of the students who are studying in the same field and school. Some of the questions and attitudes my mentee shared with me helped me reset my perspective on work, networking, and some of the new skills they are learning at school."
