I had the privilege of being a part of the Streetwise Mentorship Program, and I can confidently say that it was an absolutely amazing experience that exceeded all my expectations. This program is a true gem for anyone seeking guidance, growth, and personal development. From the moment I joined, I was welcomed into a supportive community that was dedicated to fostering learning and mentorship. The mentors themselves were exceptional – each one an expert in their field, ready to share their knowledge and insights with a genuine passion for helping others succeed. What truly sets the Streetwise Mentorship Program apart is its personalized approach. The mentors took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. Through one-on-one sessions and group workshops, I received tailored advice and practical strategies that I could apply directly to my personal and professional journey. The program structure was well-thought-out, striking a perfect balance between structured curriculum and flexibility. Whether it was skill-building workshops, engaging discussions, or networking opportunities, every aspect of the program was meticulously designed to provide a holistic learning experience. Furthermore, the camaraderie among fellow mentees was heartwarming. The connections I formed and the relationships I built during this program are invaluable and will undoubtedly continue to flourish even beyond its duration. In just a short time, I witnessed remarkable growth in myself, both in terms of skills and confidence. Streetwise Mentorship Program not only equipped me with practical knowledge but also empowered me to set higher goals and equipped me with the tools to achieve them. If you're seeking a mentorship program that goes above and beyond, providing guidance that is both insightful and impactful, I wholeheartedly recommend the Streetwise Mentorship Program. It's a transformative journey that will leave you inspired, motivated, and armed with the tools you need to succeed. Kudos to the team for creating such an exceptional program!

StreetWise Partners is a great organization. I joined as a mentee my Junior year of college apart of the 2021 cohort program cycle. From then I as able work on my interview and soft skills. I was able to get feedback on my resume and cover-letter from professionals in the Finance Industry. They also pair you with a mentor who is aligned to your career interest. I was paired with a great mentor who I still keep in touch today as they are very involved not only in your career but life journey. After the end of the program you become an alumni and have the opportunity to join Streetwise Employment Services, in which they provide internships, networking events, informations sessions, and job opportunities related to your career field. Iban and Olivia who are apart of the Employments Services team are very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. The whole program is to help you grow and succeed, but it is your job to make the most out of your experience. I was able to expand my network tremendously and meet professionals throughout various industries. I recommend this program to anyone who is looking to develop and work on improving themselves in the professional environment.

Great way to start fresh from the bottom just to prep yourself on professional development skills. Along with my amazing mentor, I was given a lot of advice and self awareness of what to expect in the future and I kept striving for success after the program ended.

Awesome program! I graduated from the Winter 2023 session and learned a lot. It is the best thing I did for myself since starting college. My first internship was through Streetwise.

Awesome program. I benefited a lot from it. They offer everything including exposure to industries, established professionals, professional self development & assessment, and assistance with jobs and internships. This all was during the cohort. Post program attendance, their alumni initiative is very robust which includes events, additional self development, networking, and job placement. I still maintain contact with Iban and Olivia and they assisted me massively post program and with continued advancement in my career. Like most things worthwhile, it requires your own effort and contribution but is the perfect place for guidance and advancement.
