Alumni mentoring

Mentoring is a process of passing on experience, knowledge and skills from a professional background between two people. The mentor helps the mentee progress though the workplace, points him the right direction and helps him realize his full potential. The mentee is interested in active development and wants to find out how best to utilise their skills.

Applications for the academic year 2023/2024 are open until October 15, 2023.

FIR Alumni Mentoring

How does the program work?

How does the program work?

The official Mentoring program starts in October and lasts until May. However, it is not unusual for the mentor and mentee to develop a professional understanding and maintain professional contact.

All the mentors and mentees have an initial meeting. After that individual pairs meet, the recommended frequency of these meetings is once per month. Meetings can be in person or online, for example via Skype.

Mentor

The mentor is an experienced FIR graduate who has been in the workplace for several years. The mentor would like to pass on their experience and support a student who is still waiting for the transition into the workplace. The mentor can help the student to orientate in the field and explain its’ organisation.

Mentee

Anyone who is a student of a 3rd year of Bachelor´s degree, a Master’s degree, or a young graduate, can become a Mentee. Mentees are interested in active development, personal growth and increasing their potential. They are interested in orienting themselves in their chosen field before joining the workplace, or just getting to know their future field.

*mentees can participate in the program only once at each stage of study and after graduation, that means everyone can be a mentee a maximum of 3 times: within the bachelor’s study, master’s study and after completing the master’s study.
