Mentees
The Concept
Individual support from the mentor:
As mentees, undergraduate and postgraduate students, and academic and scientific staff receive tailored support from an experienced specialist, the mentor, in the form of a personal, one-to-one relationship. The mentor is always more highly qualified than the mentee and supports, fosters and advises the mentee on their further academic and profession careers. All mentors are women.
Support programme with training courses, lectures and networks:
A support programme provides a forum for mentors and mentees which facilitates cross-discipline networking. Depending on your qualifications, tailor-made seminars, training courses and lectures are offered which are designed to foster your academic and professional development to help you make the right decisions for the future.
The Structure
MentHo is offered within the University of Hohenheim in close cooperation with the faculties. Selection of mentors and mentees, together with the contents of the curriculum, are also aligned with the requirement profiles of the individual faculties.
External organisations and businesses can influence the matching process by creating requirement profiles for the mentee and by recruiting mentors for the programme from their own ranks.
The Goal
- To support talented women in academia from an early stage
- To provide support in achieving objectives
- To shorten study times
- To reduce the number of student dropouts
- To increase the percentage of women at the University
- To build bridges between studies and career
- To enhance the management and leadership skills of graduates and scientists
