Boeing Mentorship Program

2025-2026

Boeing Mentorship Program

Students selected for the program are paired with a Boeing mentor.  Mentors are professionals from multiple Boeing locations (including Portland), who will work with you to set goals for career development.  They can provide information about the aerospace industry, career paths for your program of study, career guidance and support. Students often work with the mentor on resume development and interview practice, as well as help with internship applications.  Since its inception, Boeing employees have mentored over 100 students in this program – and you could be next! 

This program is open to Engineering, Computer Science and Business majors.

Applications for the 2025 – 2026 academic year are accepted through 12 p.m. on Friday, August 29, 2025.
