| Abstract: | With falling enrollment in accounting programs, practitioners can make an important contribution by helping students understand the challenges and rewards of practicing accounting. Participating in a mentoring program at a college or university is one way to make contact with future graduates and influence their career decisions. John Carroll University developed a mentoring program using the school's alumni accounting graduates. This flexible program gave students the opportunity to interact with CPAs by e-mail, phone or in person at lunch or on office visits. The mentors helped give students a more realistic picture of accounting career opportunities and the job responsibilities they would face. The John Carroll program draws mentors from both public accounting and industry. |
