Peer Technology Mentors are NorQuest College students who are passionate about helping other students use technology effectively. They help students at NorQuest navigate educational technology, including misiwe pehtâkwan (formerly known as Moodle), MyQuest, and Microsoft Office products such as MyMail, Word, and PowerPoint.
There are many benefits to becoming a Peer Technology Mentor! Participating in this program allows you to demonstrate your ability to teach and communicate complex concepts effectively, which is a great addition to your resume. Additionally, it showcases your proficiency with technology, making you a strong candidate for tech-related roles. Beyond these professional advantages, mentoring also helps you reinforce your own knowledge and build confidence in your skills.

Peer Technology Mentors are expected to commit to 4 hours per week (2 shifts, 2 hours each) until the end of the term (approx. 15 weeks in total, excluding Reading Week).
