What is Click-on Mentoring Mentors are university students and are matched with high school students (mentees) from regional schools Mentors and mentees talk about aspirations and post school options Mentees hear from mentors about how the mentors got through high school and transitioned to university Mentors can share what a typical day looks like at university, what is fun about university and what’s not so much fun Most importantly, mentees are able to explore different choices for their future with the mentor without judgment

Things to talk about I don’t know what to do after high school, am I doomed…??! What did YOU do after high school? What goals did you have? How will my decisions, now and in the future, affect my goals? Where can I get some practical guidance on: - Subject choices? - University / TAFE? - Job hunting? What resources are out there and where can I find them?
