A new study of young German professionals published in the Journal of Vocational Behavior reports that younger employees who develop a mentoring relationship with an older, more experienced, employee are more likely to achieve career success than those employees who don’t have a mentor.

Employees whose mentor is a powerful figure in their field are especially likely than their peer to achieve career success. The study also mentions networking as a strong indicator of career success. For optimal success in your field, a mentorship with a well-known and respected colleague along, with networking, can help put you on the road to success.

Take advantage of your mentoring potential by applying for a mentor with the Career Education Center’s Success Connection Leadership Program or the Mosaic Multicultural Mentoring Program a mentoring program specifically designed for students of color.

Also, be sure to check out the Career Resource Library’s Networking Career Guide for more information about how to make the most of your professional connections.
