The mentoring program is a developmental process between the mentee (Haaga-Helia student) and the mentor (alumni). Mentoring is about learning together, sharing experiences and knowledge through interaction. The aim is to support the student's professional growth, graduation and employment. The individual goals of the mentoring program arise from the personal needs of the mentee.
The mentoring program consists of two-way mentoring meetings between the mentor and the mentee, as well as joint group meetings and self-study materials in Moodle. The content of mentoring meetings can be related to, for example, career planning, challenges in working life, challenges in the final stages of study, self-development or deepening expertise. The initial group meeting reviews the objectives and rules of the mentoring process, draws up a mentoring agreement, shares experiences of the mentoring process and develops interaction skills.
