Make Mentorship More Powerful
It’s time to rethink what mentorship means. Time to make it a whole lot easier to manage. And it’s time for the career benefits of it to be accessible by all.
When mentorship is easier, everyone wins
Mentorship is too impactful to limit it to a few students and alumni. Great for students who know they want a “coach,” it’s also great for those who don’t. Because as they’re exploring, starting, or switching careers, PeopleGrove can connect every user to multiple mentors, showing them if they’ll actually be happy in a career before they get too far down any one path.
Made for Students and Alumni, Designed to Scale
Mentorship doesn’t have to be work
Highly supervised mentorship programs create deep networking connections. But for small career/alumni offices, they’re time-consuming and impossible to scale. PeopleGrove both supports the formal programs for students/alumni that want them and enables informal mentoring campuswide.
Lots of oversight? Not required. Simply turn PeopleGrove on. AI recommends alumni based on shared interests and then teaches them to start connecting.

Informal Mentoring
Quick mentoring conversations
Quick mentoring, or “flash” mentoring, are one-time conversations between a mentee and a mentor (can be as simple as messaging a Super Mentor). Informal, and non-intimidating, quick mentoring is a valuable way for learners to get immediate answers to all kinds of career questions, from “what classes should I take” to “what’s the work life balance like” in specific careers.
Built-in calendaring for instant scheduling and requests.
Video, phone, or email flexibility.
Formal Mentoring
Programmatic mentorship
For those running formal mentoring programs (career or peer programs), PeopleGrove saves schools time. Advanced algorithms attract participants for you, ending the manual recruitment. By learning personality traits and why alumni want to be mentors, PeopleGrove makes more sophisticated pairings. And career mentorship curriculum is built right in, so staff get the tools and the guidance to run it.
