PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The CAMEO Mentorship Partnership program provides students with a one-on-one conversation with their
mentors to get answers to their questions about life after high school, applying to college, number of years in
school, practice exams, expectations, challenges, and tips. These combinations of topics paired with onsite
internships help build a long-lasting relationship between the mentor and mentee. By providing the ultimate
support from CAMEO and professional experts, we hope our mentees grow into professionals and become
mentors to one day return the favor!
