BestPrep Partners with Southwest Business Students



BestPrep is grateful that you had your class involved in eMentors with EY. I hope you enjoyed your first experience with eMentors. It was really fun to see the mentors and students connect over at EY. Below are the results of the eMentors connection. Without your support, the Southwest High School students would not have had this experience and wouldn’t have gained the skills and information shared. Your involvement is so appreciated.

100% had a good to excellent experience with eMentors.
85% feel more comfortable writing emails.
71% gained knowledge and skills that can be used in a professional career.

Mentors commented
64% believe their student gained knowledge and skills that can be used in a professional career.

“Meeting the student in person! It was great to put a face to the name and talk through our previous emails. I also think the student gained a lot from our visit.”

“It makes me take a step back and think through my approach as well as the stage in life the student is in.”

“Experience in how to be a helpful/effective mentor, as well as connecting with students who have large school/career decisions ahead of them”

We appreciate your involvement and hope you will engage another class soon. If you have a class to be involved next term, please contact Bonnie Vagasky at bvagasky@bestprep.org.

BestPrep is also growing its other programs, learn more online. One program is the Technology Integration Workshop – a 4 day workshop for teachers to learn new technology skills and create a unit plan based on Understanding by Design. Teachers will also earn 28 CEUs.
