Why join the Aalto Mentoring Programme as a mentor?

"As I benefit a lot and build my own solid research ability out of my Master degree study from Aalto, I am very happy to share my experience and mind, viewpoint to student, hope it will help them a bit."

"Very well organised mentoring programme - for me the first time as mentor. I was glad to share my own experience from studies and work life with a young student, who was the same age as my own kids."

"What I’ve appreciate about the programme is that it not only gives you the opportunity to support a fellow Aalto Biz student as they prepare to step into working life, but also offers a rare chance to pause and reflect on working life more broadly yourself. Hearing about the current “hot topics” at the business school is also a great reminder of what the next generation of professionals is thinking about and focusing on."

 

"Aalto mentoring program joins people from practice-academics and seasoned-junior background. This creates sessions where both mentors and actors may learn from each other, provide and receive support, or just have a opportunity for a positive session within times of stress."

"That was a great experience as a mentor to PhD students. I learned how different their experiences can be and that my own challenges in the past are so common among fellow scientists. This is in a way a healing experience when you are helping others based on the lessons you have learned through a lot of frustration in the course of your own PhD journey."
