“I met Joule when I was finishing high school, when I was full of uncertainties and doubts about my future. What makes me happiest is seeing with much greater clarity the growth of my mindset and my perspective on my career. After the mentoring, I started college in Event Management, got my first internship and today I feel fulfilled as an intern in the audiovisual area.”

“I can say that mentoring influenced everything I did: it helped me decide where I would study, which field to pursue, and how to prioritize my projects to ensure a greater impact on each one. My life after mentoring changed a lot and I achieved several things: I got into college, went on an exchange program, and won an award!"

“My mentor was excellent at working directly with me to enhance my skills and also connected me with IT professionals, which helped me explore and better understand opportunities in the technology sector. After the mentorship, I began to work more strategically on my networking and LinkedIn, applying everything I had learned. This helped me start an internship in the Portfolio Management area at Banco Itaú, which was a great leap forward in my career.”

“My mentor was able to add a lot of value to my profile with skills that I couldn’t have on my own. After each conversation, he was able to help me make my resume more objective and assertive. Thanks to the mentoring, I was super prepared to participate in selection processes. I felt confident and prepared. If I have a stable job today, the mentoring was essential for that, because it gave me a broader vision and the help of someone much more experienced than me.”

“In 2022, I discovered the Joule Institute. At the time, I was unemployed and a recent high school graduate, struggling to organize my career goals. My mentor played a key role in helping me identify and unite my greatest interests: mobilizing people and creating solutions through STEM fields to address social challenges.”

“Participating in Conecta 8 helped me get my degree and OAB card. It was a dream to become a lawyer, but I was afraid of the future and didn’t know how to deal with the excess. My mentor was a pillar in this final stretch, she taught me and continues to teach me a lot to this day.”

“I found Joule at the beginning of my career, when I was looking to grow personally and professionally. I had a lot of difficulty believing in my potential. The mentoring helped me gain clarity about my choices and better structure my professional journey, providing practical tools and, above all, emotional and strategic support to deal with the challenges of being a young black woman in the outskirts of the city and in the corporate world. Thanks to the mentoring, I was able to develop my potential and enroll in the Law course through a full Prouni scholarship!

"I remember how my mentor made me realize the value of my skills and helped me build confidence. It wasn't just about techniques or knowledge, but about understanding my potential and using it to my advantage. After the mentorship, I managed to pass 3 interviews, where I had to make a difficult decision to choose which one best fit my profile, which was an important milestone in my career."
