Become a Mentor Every year, hundreds of professionals across Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, mentor Met students, providing the real world opportunities that inspire and drive their learning.  Under the mentors' guidance, students transform from typical, disaffected teens to mature, self-motivated students when they discover a passion for their career fields.  Great mentors are the key to our students' success.  Please consider mentoring a student.   Benefits for Mentors: Have a fresh set of eyes looking at your work and see new answers to old problems Catch the enthusiasm of a teenager who is excited about your work Have your intern tackle the project you never have time to get to Enjoy the personal reward of encouraging teenagers who share your professional interests Have an extra set of hands to tackle the daily tasks at your organization Become part of a state-wide network of professionals who mentor students Benefits for Students: Build a relationship with an adult mentor Learn the professional attitude and expertise that are necessary in today’s workplace Become engaged in the work and take ownership of one’s learning Learn academic skills through on-site project work Understand the importance of education and develop long-term goals Internship Schedule:
