GWC Project Goal

We decided that creating an app with the main intitiative of providing mentorship to university students would be a great way to do this because we believe:having access to suitable mentors can help students to succeed in their studies and make the most of their university experiences mentorship provides students with invaluable guidance and support when it comes to making important decisions about their future (choosing courses and/or career paths)mentoring can help students to develop necessary skills such as communication, problem-solving, and networking skills
