Mentoring programme organized by the Mentoring Buddy project and implemented by Turku University of Applied Sciences, International Working Women of Finland and InterPro Finland.
Hey international talent in Finland , do you consider studying a bachelor’s or master’s degree or parts of it in Finland? Would you like to know more, what it is actually like? Do you want personal support and guidance towards studies and your dream career? Join the new mentoring program & meet your Mentoring Buddy!
The Mentoring Buddy program for people with international background starts in January continuing until March. The current university students and alumni act as mentors and share their experiences about studies, internship and student life and encourage to pursue their mentees’ (international people) dreams. The mentees will get also professional support and guidance on e.g., study options, eligibility criteria and applying.
The length of the first program is 15.1.–18.3.2024.
You will meet your student mentor 5 times during the program. In addition, there will be joint meetings to support the process, brainstorming, and planning your next steps. The joint meetings are organized hybrid or online:
- 15.1. at 16:30 / Orientation meeting and meeting your Mentoring Buddy
- 15.2. at 16:30 / Interim meeting
- 18.3. at 16:30 / Closing meeting
The program is in English and Finnish. We consider the language when matching the pairs. Also, we aim to form the mentee-mentor pairs based on their interests. Fill the application form carefully!
