Introducing the NSBE NYC Mentors

The NSBE NYC Professional Chapter is proud to launch our Mentorship Program, an initiative supporting aspiring STEM professionals, collegiate members, and young adults. As part of our commitment to NSBE and the growth of Black engineers, we offer structured mentorship focusing on leadership development, career readiness, and chapter growth & retention.

Navigating the STEM industry can be challenging. Our mentorship program helps bridge the gap between talent and opportunity by offering tailored guidance in three key areas:

  • Leadership Development: Enhancing communication, conflict resolution, and strategic planning.
  • Career Readiness: Providing resume workshops, interview prep, and networking support.
  • Chapter Growth & Retention: Strengthening engagement within NSBE collegiate chapters and STEM organizations.

How It Works

Each year, the NSBE NYC Professional Chapter selects individuals or organizations for mentorship based on leadership readiness and growth potential. The program includes:

  • Initial Assessment: Identifying strengths and improvement areas.
  • Customized Mentorship Plan: Tailored workshops, career guidance, and retention strategies.
  • Dedicated Mentors: A team of experienced professionals offering ongoing support.
  • Regular Check-ins: Tracking progress and adjusting as needed.
  • Final Review & Transition: Evaluating impact and encouraging continued NSBE involvement.

Partnering with The Marcy Lab School

To uplift underrepresented communities in STEM, we are excited to extend mentorship to The Marcy Lab School, an affordable college alternative preparing young adults for high-paying tech careers.

This partnership connects Marcy Lab Fellows with NSBE NYC professionals for personalized career guidance in:

  • Technical & Behavioral Interview Prep
