One of the most underrated but impactful features of the B.Voc curriculum is its mentorship program. While most degrees leave students to figure things out after graduation, B.Voc programs often pair students with mentors from the industry.
What Mentors Provide
Career Guidance: Unsure whether to go into auditing or taxation? Your mentor can help you decide.
Skill Development: Mentors recommend certifications, courses, and skills that align with your career goals.
Networking: A good mentor will introduce you to people in the field, which could lead to internships or jobs.
