Many universities and colleges offer students Informational Interview programs. They introduce the student to an alumni with relevant experience and expertise to advice them on possible career directions after graduation.

Some of these programs are done as part of a course curriculum and others are available any time from the Career Center.

MentorEase mentoring software can help find the best matches, especially for large programs with hundreds of students and alumni interviews.

For example, the software can enable students to select their top 3 mentors of interest (and say why), then the facilitator reviews and makes the final decision.

There are various considerations, including:
* Specific student interests and alumni experience
* High profile alumni to be matched with the best students
