Abstract

Career projects expose accounting students to relationship-building activities and mentoring possibilities that have purpose in accounting programs. Career projects and advisement services are recommended because the complexities in accounting careers can span years or students’ entire programs. Adult students are handicapped because the accounting profession targets traditionally aged students. It is advisable that non-traditional students begin the “relationship-building process” early in their accounting programs. Accounting educators can jumpstart relationship-building strategies especially for non-traditional students in various accounting areas. With relationship-building activities, one creates mentoring opportunities that last a lifetime. Relationship-building activities should become normal protocol for accounting career programs.
