Public high school students in Brazil have until September 25 to enroll in the free online career mentoring program called Plano de Vida, organized by Cemig. This initiative aims to provide professional guidance for young people who are in the process of deciding their academic and career paths. Each participant will be matched with a volunteer mentor from the company, allowing for personalized support through virtual meetings.

The program includes individualized, virtual meetings conducted once a week over three months, lasting an average of one hour. Each session is tailored to address the specific needs and goals of the student. Participants will receive practical advice on various topics, including goal setting, vocational assessments, resume building, interview preparation, leveraging LinkedIn, networking, scholarship opportunities, professional initiation, and personal finance.

These mentoring sessions not only aim to equip students with necessary skills for their future careers but also to foster connections between young people and professionals in their desired fields. With limited spots available, the initiative emphasizes the importance of early career planning and the accessibility of resources for high school students in public education.
