Who books a session in Florida

The people who arrive stuck.

Students and recent graduates

Applying into tourism and hospitality around Miami with nobody at home who can explain how the hiring actually works.

Job seekers

Strong on paper, stalling at interview, and with no one in Florida who will say plainly what the shortlist turns on.

Career changers

Moving out of aerospace and space, or across to it, with a resume that still reads like the last job rather than the next one.

Mentors you can be matched with

The fields Florida mentees ask about most.

Matching is cross-border. A mentor in another state, or another country, is normal and often the whole point.

  • tourism and hospitality

  • healthcare

  • aerospace and space

  • Public sector and non-profit

  • Startups and small business

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do I have to live in Florida to book?

No. Anyone can book. This page exists because the questions we hear here repeat.

Is it really free?

Free to you. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.

Will my mentor be local?

Sometimes. We match on the job you are aiming at first, so your mentor may work in Florida or on the other side of the world.

How long until I am matched?

Most people are matched within a few days, then pick a slot in ET.

Will my mentor understand the Florida job market?

Often, yes. Where the better match sits elsewhere, the advice is still set against what you are facing here, including that seasonal hospitality work is real operational and customer experience.

Can I be matched with someone in tourism and hospitality?

Yes. It is one of the areas Florida mentees ask about most, and mentors in it volunteer across the network.
