IBM MentorPlace (ibm.mentorplace.epals.org (link resides outside ibm.com)) is an online mentoring program that links the knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm of teachers and students with the talent and skills of IBM employees.
In Hong Kong, IBM employees volunteered their time to become e-mentors to school students from secondary schools as part of the IBM MentorPlace program.
Today, in over 35 countries, more than 6,000 IBM employees are providing academic assistance and career guidance to over 7,000 students ages 8 to 17 years old.
