OLTECH - Mentoring programme for young researchers is complemented by a supporting programme that prepares the mentees for their role and offers opportunities for networking and reflecting on the mentoring process. In addition, four training workshops are usually offered that are specifically tailored to the needs of the mentees. The programme starts with a Kick-Off-Workshop with focus on methods and strategies for individual career management and for finding the right mentor. Followed by individual coaching hour’s mentees get tools in second workshop to start an effective mentoring relationship with the mentors. A half-year meeting focuses on status quo of the mentoring process and supports mentees for the further time. A closing symposium (partly with Mentors) focus on career and networking strategies for the future career and give the chance to meet all mentors and mentees, exchange experiences during the one year mentoring period.
