University of Wisconsin - Stout Mentor Program
The Stout CareerLink Mentoring Program identifies UW-Stout alumni and others who are willing to help undergraduates and alumni with career and job hunting issues.
The goal of this program is to pair students enrolled in the UW-Stout Packaging Engineering program that wish to have a direct connection to working professionals involved in the packaging industry.
We are asking professionals located in the IoPP North Central Region, which includes Chicago, Wisconsin, and Minnesota Chapters, to participate.
