Mentoring programme

In addition to an internship program or a cycle Evenings with alumni, Institute of Political Studies has prepared for its students another program intended to help students to master soft skills, work habits and know-how. It is a mentoring program based on sharing experience, practical knowledge and advice from alumni / mentors to excellent students.

Principle of the program

Mentor, an experienced graduate with at least 3-year-long work experience, passes his/her experience, hands-on knowledge and advice to the student (mentee). Mentor helps the student set the goals and priorities and advises him/her on how to achieve such goals. Thus the mentor contributes to a personal and professional development of the student.

The entire program covers one semester. Mentor meets his/her "student" three times in the course of semester.

Duties of a mentor

3 meetings with a student

- First meeting: mentor helps the student set his/her career goals and identify the ways how to achieve such goals

- Second meeting: passing on experience, hands-on knowledge and advice

- Third meeting: feedback

Duties of a mentee

- Before the beginning of the program, a mentee submits his/her CV and motivation letter to a program coordinator

- Participation in meetings with a mentor, a proactive approach

- After completing the program, a mentee submits a final report assessing his/her acts
