Mentoring program
Mentoring Program - a perfect choice
Recruitment is closed.
In November, we launched the 15th edition of the mentoring programme.
Mentoring program focuses on students’ development in career planning. Mentoring is a “mentee-driven” process, whereby students consider their goals and professional plans , and discuss with their mentor about best ways of achieving these goals.
The mentor’s role is to facilitate their professional and personal development, by: sharing experience, giving advice and feedback, recommend actions and sometimes motivate to make a change.
In this edition there are 12 English – speaking Mentors!
Benefits of participating in the programme:
- You will see the working world “from the inside.” You will gain a unique opportunity to see what work is really like in your field of interest, in a specific role, and within a real professional environment.
- You will test your expectations. You will confront your ideas about your future job, industry, and required competencies with reality. It’s the best way to confirm you are on the right career path.
- You will discover and develop your potential. With your Mentor’s support, you will identify your strengths, learn how to leverage them, and gain valuable insights on overcoming barriers.
- You will boost your self-confidence. Through conversations and the feedback you receive, you will strengthen your sense of self-worth and confidence in your abilities, giving you the courage to make conscious decisions.
- You will develop key competencies. The program is an intensive training in interpersonal skills, communication, and professional maturity—you will learn the importance of responsibility, self-discipline, and punctuality.
- You will establish valuable professional contacts. You will build a meaningful relationship with an experienced professional, which can be the start of your professional network and pay dividends in the future.
- You will gain inspiration and a new perspective. You will benefit from your Mentor’s knowledge and experience. They won’t give you ready-made solutions, but will inspire you to think and help you see your future from a new, broader perspective.
- You will define your professional goals. Through discussions and the knowledge you gain, you will verify and refine your goals, learning to consciously plan the next steps in your career.
