MyCom

My Career Oriented Mentor (MyCom) is a peer mentoring program established by the Wilmington College Office of Career Services. The purpose of the project is to equip our students with career knowledge, soft skills and career development. MyCom increases engagement with career planning by creating a meaningful pathway experience that is clear and accessible to students. This pathway integrates and organizes existing activities that align the entire student body in direct, meaningful ways:

Help students choose a career and develop a plan.
Increase student engagement, awareness and alignment with career goals.
Enhance the professional development of students toward career goals.
