Career Peer Mentorship
Texas Career Engagement offers undergraduate students to have career conversations directly with peers. We offer a unique career peer program—the Longhorn Career Peer Mentor Program—to support UT students as they explore and navigate their unique career development journeys. Below, you will find information on how to utilize the Longhorn Career Peer Mentors in your career journey.
Longhorn Career Peer Mentors
Longhorn Career Peers (LCPMs) are trained and supervised paraprofessionals who provide career assistance to other undergraduate students through Texas Career Engagement. Responsibilities of LCPMs include critiquing resumes, conducting practice interviews, assisting peers with job search strategies, promoting Texas Career Engagement through tabling and presentations, as well as serving as a peer mentor in the Longhorn Career Peer Mentoring Program.
