Mentors

With more professional experience, they share it as volunteers, with no paperwork.

Mentees

They are supported on a professional goal and take the initiative for meetings.

6 months

A cohort lasts 6 months: first meeting in month 1, mid-point review in month 3, final review in month 6.

Does the programme guarantee a job?: No. Mentoring is not a promise of employment.
Can I be a mentor and a mentee at the same time?: No. Each person has one role per cohort.
How do meetings work?: The first meeting is scheduled on the platform; meetings take place outside it.
