Each year, the Mentoring Institute brings up to 400 professionals from around the world to Albuquerque for our annual Mentoring Conference, generating a substantial local economic impact on airline flight tickets, hotel occupancy, restaurant sales, car rentals, and tourism.
Additionally, the Mentoring Institute's training and certificate programs for Educational Mentor Tutors (EMTs) and Peer Learning Facilitators (PLFs) support New Mexico's economic growth. By training students in leadership, coaching, and career development competencies, we bridge the gap in vital "soft skills" and accelerate professional workplace readiness.
