The twelve-month Mentoring Plus program provides professional support for female students in the final phase of their studies. During this time, the participants (mentees) receive individual and practical support from experienced specialists and managers (mentors) and exchange ideas in peer groups. In addition, workshops and networking events provide the space to train soft skills and to deal with professional goals and career options.
FeMentor is a platform that supports young women through the concept of reverse mentoring. Usually the mentor is the one who gives advice, in the case of FeMentor mentees get the opportunity to share their knowledge in return. This way there is no gap between mentor and mentee. There is an exchange at eye level, which is helpful for both.
