line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]Anyone who wants to help others, who is involved in Finnish working life, and who has some work experience in Finland can become a mentor. It is enough that the mentor has good social skills and wants to help and support a less experienced person who is aiming to develop professionally and find solutions on their career path.<\/p>\n

Do you know what career mentoring is? What can you expect from mentoring? Start by reading more about mentoring\u00a0here<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

Before mentoring, make sure that you have the time and energy required for mentoring. While successful mentoring is based on the mentee\u2019s wishes and goals, the mentor must also be active and engaged.<\/p>\n

Mentoring does not just happen, it requires investment and engagement. Mentoring consists of meetings with your mentee, and possibly support and consideration between meetings. The mentor is expected to share their experiences, perspectives and ideas, as well as provide support and encouragement for professional growth. However, the mentor does not need to have all the answers.[\/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.
