Want to Be an E-Mentor?

Introducing a new, innovative way for Teamsters to reach out to young people across the nation.  E-mentoring through icouldbe.org is your chance to share your time, talent, expertise, and personality to make a difference in the lives of young people all over.

icouldbe.org is an online career mentoring program for high school students.  Educators find that students lack access to information on high wage careers in high growth industries.  They often bring in speakers or refer students to counselors to obtain information on a limited number of occupations.  Young people make career choices based on inadequate and impersonal information.  icouldbe.org provides a rich resource of mentors in high wage, high growth occupations.  E-mentoring allows young people to cross geographic and industry lines to learn about a wide variety of possible careers, one-on-one, from the people who do them. 

Teamsters have a unique opportunity to participate in this pilot offered through the Teamsters Education Department and the Skills for Tomorrow project.

If you would like to share your knowledge about your industry and union, log onto icouldbe.org.  Links to icouldbe.org can be found at the Teamsters Education Department website (www.teamster.org) and the Skills for Tomorrow Project website (www.ibtstw.org).
