Mentoring program

The program

The mentoring is intended to connect alumni and students of the School of Business and Economics, and to encourage a lively career-promoting exchange. It is a one-to-one mentoring on a voluntary basis. The mentors and mentees are free to decide how often and in what form (by phone, via Skype, etc.) they want to meet. A duration of approximately one year is targeted, but mentoring can continue informally beyond that.

In the course of this honorary position, mentors can

• reflect on their own career through exchange with students
• stay in contact with the alma mater and get the latest information on research and teaching
• use mentoring as a recruiting opportunity
• expand their professional network

Mentees can also benefit in many ways, for example through

• Networking Career counseling
• Support in personal development
• Encouragement through suggestions and experiences of the mentors
• Support, for example, in preparing for job interviews

This makes mentoring ideal for anyone who wants support in making a successful start to their career.
