“My mentor John helped me not only be more confident in my interviews, but also to be more concise with my responses, especially when asked more technical questions on positions I haven’t had much experience in. He also gave me resources to use so that I can prepare myself for my most desired roles in working in the automotive engineering fields.” - Anthony Francis, Braven Fellow and Summer 2025 PM Program participant
