The Standards
The BYUI CAN Standards
One Career Task each week, two industry experiences before senior year, three Career Chats every month. Mentor Connect is the digital backbone for these standards.
Career Task — weekly
One focused action every week: resume edit, alumni outreach, internship app, mock interview.
Industry Experiences — before senior year
Two real-world experiences (internships, shadowing, projects) before senior year so the resume tells a story.
Career Chats — monthly
Three Career Chats a month with mentors, alumni, or peers. Networking that compounds.
What you get
Built around the work, not the form.
Pick the right person
Filter mentors by major, semester level, and career interest. See slots-left so you don't waste a request on someone at capacity.
Track every step
Pending, accepted, declined — always know where each request stands. Mentor contact unlocks the moment they accept.
Stay accountable
Mentors log every meeting. Both sides answer a short monthly check-in. Admins see aggregate progress.
Built by students. For students.
BYUI CAN Mentor Connect is the digital backbone for the Career Advancement Network — peer mentorship that scales.
