Mentor the next generation of International Students as they navigate their careers
All The Necessary Features To Elevate your Mentorship Journey
We want you to focus on what matters — mentoring and creating an impact!
Let us worry about all the logistics and technicality behind it all.
Group sessions are designed to allow mentors to connect with several mentees at once. All within the Navigrated platform. Sessions are usually an hour long, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
Share your knowledge, experiences, and insights in our weekly sessions, where mentees are eager to learn from seasoned professionals like you.
We understand that our mentors are very busy professionals and so we’ve structured these sessions to be flexible to fit your schedule. We only ask for two hours of your time every few months, allowing you to contribute meaningfully without overcommitting.
If you have more than just a couple of hours to mentor, you’ll love our one-on-one mentorship feature built right into the platform.
After attending your group sessions, our members can book personalised one-on-one sessions with you based on your availability, allowing them to gain deeper insights and tailored advice.
This feature lets you continue helping members individually while being compensated for your time. Participation is completely optional, but many mentors find it fulfilling to offer ongoing guidance beyond group discussions, with the added benefit of earning for the personalised support they provide.
Our Help Forum is designed for high-quality discussions. Members ask specific, career-related questions, and only approved mentors like you can offer guidance—ensuring valuable, focused conversations.
Showcase what defines your professional journey. Your profile highlights your education, work experience, achievements, and includes an availability calendar for 1-on-1 paid sessions. Everything is customizable to reflect your unique expertise.
You do not ever have to leave the platform for Zoom, Teams, or search for meeting links. All your meetings are hosted within our platform. And upon the mentor’s discretion, all meetings can be recorded with a simple click – only you and your mentee would have an option to watch later.

Mentor FAQS
To become a mentor, you should have proven experience and expertise in your industry, which can be demonstrated through your career or entrepreneurial achievements. What’s equally important is your ability to relate to the challenges our community faces and your genuine desire to help others succeed. We ask for a commitment of at least a couple of hours every few months to mentor. It’s less about monetary benefits and more about giving back and making a meaningful impact on someone’s journey.
We carefully select each mentor based on their proven success, expertise, and most importantly, their genuine commitment to giving back.
Most of our mentors are accomplished professionals with impressive track records in their industries—people who would typically be out of reach or very expensive to approach in a commercial setting.
But they’ve joined us because they truly believe in our mission and want to help international students and professionals overcome the unique challenges they face.
Our vetting process ensures that every mentor we bring on board is not only experienced but also genuinely passionate about making a difference.
Group Sessions are structured and designed to provide valuable insights to a larger audience.
Before the session, you’ll have access to our team to help you prepare any slides or materials you’d like to use, ensuring you feel fully supported. What you discuss during these sessions is flexible—you can plan a structured talk on specific industry insights or leave it more open for a dynamic conversation.
During these sessions, popular topics often include:
- How to land a job in your industry: Share practical tips on job search strategies, applications, and navigating the hiring process.
- Breaking into a particular field: Discuss the specific skills and experiences needed to succeed in your profession or niche.
- Personal career journey: Offer mentees an inside look into your own career path, including the challenges you faced and how you overcame them.
After the main discussion, there will always be a Q&A session with our community members, where you can expect questions about career progression, the hiring process, interview preparation, company culture, and more. These sessions are designed to provide real, actionable advice to those looking to advance their careers.
Yesss, we are asking for a lot of information at the Registration Stage, and there’s a good reason for it.
We really want to showcase you—your experience, your journey, your expertise—in the best possible way to our community of international professionals. The more we know about you, the better we can help potential mentees find the perfect match.
This helps avoid mismatches and ensures that you can spend time focusing on what really matters—building those valuable connections and making a difference.
Your time is precious, and how you decide to value it is completely your choice.
Some mentors prefer to offer even 1-1 sessions for free if they feel the mentee truly deserves it, and that’s amazing!
But we also understand that your time has worth and we expect you to charge. We do suggest considering the financial situation of international students and young professionals, who may have limited budgets.
Think of your rate as a token of appreciation, perhaps equivalent to a coffee or lunch, rather than a commercial fee you would generally charge.
We’ve made scheduling as easy as possible—no need to worry about calculating time zones!
Our system automatically adjusts to your local time, so when you’re looking at session times, they’ll always be displayed in your time zone. It’s one less thing for you to think about, so you can focus on what you do best: helping your mentees.
For one-on-one sessions, as soon as a mentee books time with you, you’ll be able to chat with them directly within the portal. If either of you needs to reschedule, you can easily arrange that through the chat feature. You also have the option to initiate a live video chat by clicking the video button in the chat section, which sends a link to the mentee, so the session can be started seamlessly within the portal. Your booked sessions will be displayed under “My Students” for easy tracking.
For group sessions, if you need to cancel or reschedule, we kindly ask for at least seven days’ notice. This allows us to either find a replacement mentor or inform the attendees who are eagerly waiting for your session. To reschedule, simply reach out to your dedicated mentor support team, and they will guide you through the next steps.
Group sessions are designed to allow mentors to connect with multiple mentees at once. They are usually an hour long, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
After attending a group session, mentees have the option to book a private session with you based on your availability. These one-on-one meetings allow you to dive deeper into their specific questions and provide tailored advice.
It’s a fulfilling way to continue helping individuals on a more personal level, with the added benefit of compensation for your time. While optional, many of our mentors find one-on-one sessions to be a rewarding way to build ongoing relationships with mentees beyond the group format.
