Your resource center for being a successful brighter student.

The Brighter Mentoring Program

At Brighter Investment, we do not only give students a cheque. We are committed to ensuring that our students succeed in school and at work while impacting positively on their immediate communities and the world at large.

The Brighter Mentoring Program combines onsite peer mentoring and virtual one-on-one professional mentoring with industry learning through internships and volunteering. Junior students work hand-in-hand with senior students to master course work and understand the dynamics of university life. Senior students on the other hand work with industry professionals on monthly tasks geared at enabling their successful transition from school to the world of work.

With over 600 committed senior students and industry professionals serving as mentors on the Brighter Mentoring Program, students are more confident in their chosen career paths and attest to being more certain about landing a great job after graduation. Indeed, the future of every one of our students is BRIGHT!
