INDIANAPOLIS -- Kelley School of Business at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis is celebrating International Women’s Day by starting a mentoring partnership.
The school has joined forces with Talent Nexus, a community-based mentoring initiative, to provide mentoring for women.
Talent Nexus is a model of mentoring designed to help employers attract, retain and develop talent. The program uses a software system to help women build the skills they need to be good mentors as well as connect with other qualified mentors in the business community.
"We hope this partnership will allow our Kelley women and underrepresented groups to gain confidence, receive training to maximize mentoring and learn from business leaders throughout the community," said Kim Saxton, clinical associate professor of marketing at Kelley Indianapolis. "We are most excited about two aspects of the Talent Nexus program: First, our students will get training on how to get the most out of a mentoring relationship and how to be both a good mentor and a good mentee. Second, they will have access to a wide variety of mentors in the Indianapolis business community. We are excited to play an active role in connecting Kelley students to Indianapolis businesses. It's a win-win in connecting companies to the talent they need."
