[Please bring the following message regarding the AMS Board for Private
Sector Meteorologists' mentorship program to the attention of your
students. Questions regarding the mentorship program may be addressed
to Jim Block at the below noted email addresses.]<br>
<br>
<p>The AMS Board for Private Sector Meteorologists has reached across
private
industry to identify a cross-section of meteorology professionals that
are
volunteering their time to work with students like you! </p>
<p>The mentorship program is seeking senior-level undergraduate and
graduate
students that are focused on building a career in the private sector.
This
program is uniquely focused on skill development, coaching and helping
you grow
your professional expertise and business acumen. This program will give
you the
skills to allow you to stand out in the eyes of employers.</p>
<p>The program is structured to pair students like you with a mentor
who is
active in the private sector discipline of greatest interest to you,
such as
energy forecasting, weather derivatives, broadcasting, and catastrophe
risk
management. Every attempt is also made to pair you with a mentor who is
in your
geographic region to facilitate face-to-face interactions, in addition
to
regular phone calls and e-mails.</p>
In order to ensure you and your mentor have an opportunity to build
a strong
working relationship during the ‘07/’08 academic year, we request that
applications be submitted by <b>Friday, October 12</b>. Applications
will be
accepted later in the year; however, the number of mentors is limited
so we
encourage you to apply as soon as possible! Applications can be
