You can get support and encouragement for work and self-development from your mentor. Your mentor can help you find information and advice for professional questions. The mentor\u2019s task is to support you on your way to your professional goals.<\/p>\n
Do you know what career mentoring is? Start by reading more about mentoring\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Before mentoring, make sure you have the time and energy required for it. Mentoring may give you valuable help in working life. Mentoring is a long-term process, consisting of regular meetings with your mentor and possibly of supporting tasks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Finding a mentor” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]Many organisations provide mentoring programmes for different target groups. Below, you can find a few examples of organisations that provide mentoring in Finland. More information about mentoring programmes is available online. Many employee associations and organisations also provide their members with mentoring.<\/p>\n Family Federation of Finland:\u00a0https:\/\/www.vaestoliitto.fi\/monikulttuurisuus\/womento\/<\/a>\u00a0(In Finnish) Finnish universities \u2013 for example:<\/p>\n If you want to start a mentoring process independently without any pre-defined programme, you can find a mentor in your own networks, or you can ask a teacher, career coach or another person to help you find one.<\/p>\n If you want more information about the roles of the mentor and mentee, or the matching of mentoring pairs, visit the \u201cMatching mentoring pairs\u201d section on the\u00a0For organisers<\/a>\u00a0page.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Mentoring phases” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]For more information about the mentoring process and supporting material prepared for mentors and mentees, please visit the\u00a0Career mentoring phases and supporting material<\/a>\u00a0page. There, you can find answers to the following questions and more:<\/p>\n On the page, you can also find a mentoring agreement template, a video of the progress of mentoring meetings and an assessment form template.<\/p>\n Mentoring is a process that has an end. You can also maintain contact with your mentor after the mentoring programme if you have agreed this with them. The end of mentoring does not mean that development stops. You should continue your development and advance your career independently after mentoring. Remember to work hard for your dreams and goals.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”The mentee\u2019s checklist” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n The mentee must remain active. Mentoring takes time and effort. Mentoring does not just happen; it requires investment and engagement. Mentoring consists of meetings with your mentor, and any assignments to do or consider between meetings.<\/p>\n Talk openly with your mentor from the beginning. After all, open and honest interaction reduces any problems with mentoring. However, if your cooperation and communication with your mentor do not work, discuss it. It is good to discuss problems. If your cooperation still doesn\u2019t work, you may end the mentoring relationship, but you should discuss it together. It is good to agree on ending the relationship together and consider how you can continue your professional growth without the mentor. If you are participating in a mentoring programme organised by a party, contact the organiser.<\/p>\n Basically, no. The mentor\u2019s role is not to give or find you a job or a training position. A good mentor can help you in job-seeking or share their network with you. Hopefully, mentoring will help you find a job.<\/p>\n Mentoring can be provided in any language. In Finland, mentoring is usually provided in Finnish, Swedish or English. Before your mentoring relationship starts, discuss which language you will use. You may also use a language you are less familiar with, such as Finnish if you are not a native Finn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”see-through” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”default_arrow” text=”Return to Career Mentoring page” margin_top=”30″ margin_bottom=”30″ url=” https:\/\/yesverkosto.fi\/en\/career-mentoring”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#00b0ca” bg_image=”21537″ bg_position=”center center” background_image_loading=”default” bg_repeat=”no-repeat” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”8%”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21863,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-21626","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
