Career success is shaped not only by skills, but by relationships. The Connected Futures Flash Course helps mentoring programs support mentees in building the social capital they need to thrive.
Designed as an evidence-based and concise 20-minute course, Connected Futures introduces mentees and mentors to the science behind networking, relationship-building, and opportunity access.
Why Social Capital Matters

Mentors gain a shared framework for guiding these conversations with confidence.
