How the mentorship process works?
- Express your interest through the form - Indicate whether you would like to join as a mentee, as a mentor, or potentially both.
- Tell us about your profile and interests - Share information about your background, interests, expectations, and the type of support or exchange you are looking for.
- Matching and review - We review profiles and identify potential matches based on interests, needs, experience, and compatibility.
- Introductory connection - Once matched, mentor and mentee are introduced and can begin their exchange.
Mentorship journey
The mentoring relationship develops through a structured but flexible exchange, shaped by mutual expectations and availability.
What do we look for in a match?
A good match is not only about expertise. It is also about shared interests, communication style, expectations, and the kind of support that is being sought.
When building matches, the programme may take into account:
- areas of interest,
- project themes,
- career or study pathways,
- preferred type of support,
- language and availability,
and the overall potential for a positive exchange.
The aim is to create matches that are useful, constructive, and comfortable for both sides.
