Uniwersytet SWPS

The mentoring program is primarily aimed at proactive students who are highly motivated to act, focused on personal and professional development, who seek support in making decisions, and who are open and ready for challenges and want to consciously plan their career path. The essence of the program is to create conditions for its participants to establish a permanent Mentor-Mentee relationship (master - student), in which the Mentor plays the role of a guide and advisor supporting the mentee in developing their substantive competences and those related to personal development. The mentoring program is based on an informal relationship that the Mentor (an experienced employee, specialist with high professional competences, who wants to share their knowledge and experience) establishes with the Mentee (student).
