Harpal and Tosca from Success Koach introduced the SK mentorship program, highlighting its three-pronged mission:
Developing essential skills
Helping students find their path
Building resilience.
The program addresses issues like late goal-setting, lack of unique qualities, and stress among students. It offers customized guidance, self-reflection exercises, and career planning. Examples include helping students identify career paths based on interests and developing skills like interviewing and networking. The program also includes resources for self-reflection, extracurricular evaluation, and summer program selection. Parents are kept informed through AI transcriptions, dashboards, and quarterly check-ins.
Identified and addressed Issues and Risks
Goal setting happening too late for students.
Students being unprepared to be competitive college applicants.
Students lacking soft skills (essential skills).
Students feeling stressed and directionless about their future.
There are a three ways that the SK student progress is measured in the mentorship program:
The mentors will have quarterly check-in meetings with the students and parents to discuss the student's progress and how they feel they have progressed since starting the program.
The mentors will maintain a dashboard to track the student's progress, the action items they have agreed to, and their overall development.
The mentors will have access to recordings and transcripts of the mentorship sessions through the SK created AI tool, which the parents can also review to stay up-to-date on what was discussed.
The key seems to be the personalized, customized approach where the mentors work closely with each student to help them develop essential skills and find their own unique path, rather than a one-size-fits-all metric.
