/p>

Welcome, to Lattitude! Thank you for joining the Lattitude community…some call it the Lattitudesphere these days! this platform is all about mentorship and helping you achieve your dreams. The cool part about mentor relationships is that they can be for…

    • A one-time conversation (learn about a new topic)
    • Developing an ongoing relationship for professional guidance
    • Recurring discussions focused on accountability (we recommend weekly)
    • Networking and increased engagement inside groups
Problem:

Let’s face it, sometimes it can be really tough finding the right person to talk with about career opportunities, learning about a new industry, getting some tips and best practices from somebody more experienced, or just an accountability partner! We felt this pain and created Lattitude to solve this problem. People have been using Lattitude since 2018 (it’s gotten much better thanks to all of your help and feedback) and we will continue getting better.

Some of the biggest successes have come from…
    • Young professionals finding their first mentor in the working world
    • College students exploring career opportunities and practicing for interviews with alumni and local professionals
    • High school students looking to learn about the college experience, what each degree entails, and what people have done with their degrees
    • Mid-career working folks that are trying to stay sharp in their industry and want to share lessons learned and best practices across the industry
    • Curious motivated minds (is that you?) that are looking to help others and pay it forward…did you know that you can be a mentor to another person even if you are younger than they are? With Lattitude, we focus on the value that you provide to others. Let’s change the world!
