The MCSI Mentor Program aims to give students an opportunity to reflect on and explore work place practices in their chosen field, through consultation with an experienced Christian practitioner in the field. It provides a relationship based opportunity for students to investigate their chosen vocation in more depth from a Christian perspective.
