Science projects, industrial arts classes, home economics courses and even driver\u2019s training are concrete examples of this proven method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an approach that Minnesota non-profit organization <a href=\"http:\/\/bestprep.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BestPrep <\/a> also employs as they successfully prepare more than 50,000 students annually with business, career and financial literacy skills for work and life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1976, BestPrep now works with more than 4,000 professionals each year and connects them with students through a variety of programs based on active participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than 30 years, RBC Wealth Management has been committed to supporting BestPrep, and many employees in Minneapolis have been proud volunteers to one of their programs in particular: eMentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-educating-through-email\">Educating through email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the program\u2019s title suggests, eMentors uses email as a platform for hands-on learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By crafting professional emails on a weekly basis, students develop polished writing and communication skills while learning about the business world and different career paths from their mentors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over an 8-week period, their emails follow a question-and-answer format, where the students ask their mentors about a variety of topics including college\/post-secondary experience, job search skills, time management, work-life balance, goal setting and other career choices. The mentors then respond with helpful and honest answers, and examples that inspire and encourage the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, 33 RBC Wealth Management employees are paired with Anoka High School seniors enrolled in an advanced marketing (DECA) class taught by Doug Orr. The eMentors program compliments his curriculum by helping his students with career exploration and preparation for the adult life that\u2019s ahead of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe fact that RBC employees are currently in the work place is so paramount to the kids. It gives the mentors credibility,\u201d explained Orr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen they say to a student, \u2018You should do this with your resume,\u2019 my students will say to me, \u2018Oh my gosh, my mentor said I should do this.\u2019 And boom: it\u2019s done. That mentor\u2019s word is golden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ann Hoen, a senior compliance education specialist at RBC Wealth Management and an eMentor for the last seven years, enjoys passing along this \u201cgolden\u201d knowledge and recognizes the importance of having another mentor in one\u2019s life, besides family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re a teenager, sometimes you don\u2019t want to listen to your parents,\u201d says Hoen. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to hear from another adult, someone who\u2019s gone through it, who\u2019s not as close to you. It\u2019s valuable to have the opportunity to provide advice to the students, and to talk it out with them via email.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email makes it simple for the participants to stay engaged and attracts new ones as well. When Wayzata, Minn. Senior Financial Associate Joel Silver was looking for a way to become involved in the community after relocating from the east coast, eMentors caught his attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always placed a high emphasis on internships and mentorships, and this was a seamless, easy and fun opportunity,\u201d explained Silver. \u201cI can send an email from anywhere, at any time\u2026and it\u2019s exciting to see what the next generation is excited about, it keeps you relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/mentors-and-students-meet-at-RBC-in-page.jpg\" alt=\"mentors and students meet at RBC in page\" class=\"wp-image-773\" width=\"778\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/mentors-and-students-meet-at-RBC-in-page.jpg 778w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/mentors-and-students-meet-at-RBC-in-page.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/11\/mentors-and-students-meet-at-RBC-in-page.jpg?resize=768,511 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Students visit the RBC Wealth Management office in Minneapolis to meet their eMentors.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-the-keys-to-success-dedication-and-participation\">The keys to success: Dedication and participation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of dedicated teachers, mentors and students is what makes eMentors a success, as Greg Orvik, program manager at BestPrep, knows well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He observes that the teachers are enthusiastic because they\u2019re able to mold the program to their curriculum, and the since the mentors find it as an easy-to-access volunteer opportunity, the companies are on-board too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the students, he says their positive feedback says it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn 2015-2016, over 90 percent of students rated their experience with eMentors as good or excellent,\u201d said Orvik. \u201cI think they\u2019re seeing the benefit. They get to pick the brain of someone who\u2019s been there and done that, someone who has started their career path and has something to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of most memorable parts of the program not only for the students, but teachers and organizers as well, is when the classes visit the RBC Wealth Management offices. For many of the kids, it\u2019s their first time in a corporate office setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Orvik\u2019s favorite part of the program because he sees the power of the face-to-face meeting, and watches each student have what he calls their \u201cah-ha\u201d moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter touring the RBC trading floor, executive level and even office of the CEO, you can see the students really imagining themselves in different positions&#8230; the RBC employees might not know the impact they\u2019re having on the students, but there is clearly something going on\u2014many of those \u2018ah-ha\u2019 moments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orr says the office experience puts it all into perspective, and communicates a bit about RBC\u2019s culture as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs these students look at careers and what life is going to bring them, one of the important things for them to remember is do what makes you happy, follow your passion\u201d Orr says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the things they talk about is how happy the RBC employees seem to be, and that goes a long way in explaining RBC\u2019s culture and what RBC does.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With each email and office visit, students are discovering the world beyond their classrooms\u2014and it\u2019s BestPrep providing them with that experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A non-profit organization provides students with hands-on experiences that inspire success in work and life by collaborating with RBC
