The SetFire Sparks Mentorship Program has been incredibly valuable in advancing my career. As a junior in college studying business analytics, I wanted to gain more knowledge in the field while also receiving guidance on securing an internship and eventually a full-time job after graduation. I was paired with Kevin King, an amazing mentor who has provided invaluable support in all the areas I aimed to improve and more. He understands my current position as a student and has deep knowledge of what it takes to be a successful business analyst. His insights have been instrumental in helping me make informed career decisions. This program has had a significant impact on my career, helping me secure a summer internship that will further develop my skills in business analytics. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and highly recommend the program to anyone seeking guidance in their professional journey.

I’m so thankful for the SetFire Sparks Mentorship Program and everything it’s taught me during my senior year of college. This program has been such a huge help as I get ready to step into such a pivotal time in my life and I’ve gained so many valuable skills and insights that I’ll take with me as I start my career. I’ve been lucky to work with Todd McLean as my mentor, and his guidance has been incredible. He’s helped me with everything from building my personal brand to perfecting my resume and preparing for interviews. These are skills that are super important for anyone entering the workforce, but they’re not always covered in detail at school. As most of you know, the transition from college to a full-time career can seem to be a very stressful and daunting experience. However, having Todd’s one-on-one advice has made the transition from college to a full-time career feel way less stressful and more manageable. If you’re thinking about joining the Sparks Mentorship Program, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s such a great way to connect with someone who’s been in your shoes and can help guide you along the way. I’m so grateful for the time and effort Todd has put into helping me, and I know this program has made a huge difference for me as I move forward.

As we celebrate this wonderful holiday season, I want to send a big thank you your way. I would like to express my gratitude for all your guidance and support over the past year. You have helped me immensely, both personally and professionally. I truly appreciate that! I hope you enjoy a Christmas filled with joy and laughter with family, friends and loved ones. Merry Christmas! Or in Vietnamese "Giáng Sinh Vui Vẻ"!

I have enjoyed my time thoroughly with the Sparks Mentorship program. I came into the mentorship with goals surrounding finding internships, making connections, and learning skills that would help me in my future. Outside of academics and my professional life, I was also hoping to improve my financial literacy and receive tips on how to budget wisely. As I near the end of my experience, I can walk away saying I have improved in all of these areas and have advice that I will take with me for the rest of my life. The Sparks Mentorship program is catered toward the individual, and I got a lot out of it just by asking questions and setting goals for myself. With clear objectives, your mentor will find resources, give insider tips, and provide connections that can get you to where you want to be. The founder of SetFire truly wants to see his mentees succeed and is constantly looking for more ideas to guide you to the right people and opportunities. I am extremely pleased with my experience with the Sparks Mentorship program and would highly recommend it to any student looking to improve personally and learn skills that will propel you into a successful career.
