worked actively in that position, at the end of the term you can apply for credits from the

The objectives may be related to career planning, finding a concrete internship or job, facing the challenges of a final stage of working life or studying, self-development, getting to know Finnish working life or deepening expertise. The programme aims at the professional growth of the student and the strengthening of professional connections.

In the introduction, you will learn about the basics of mentoring and refine your objectives. The first group meeting will introduce you to your mentor and the rules of mentoring, agree on a schedule of the personal meetings and develop your interpersonal skills. In the second group meeting, you will network with all participants and hear a guest lecture. In the third meeting, networking will be further deepened.

The course is recommended to be taken preferably at the end of studies.
