The aim of these meetings is to obtain the necessary information about the career path you have chosen, to verify your ideas about professional work, to learn the meaning of "professional maturity". During the meetings, the Mentor does not impose his/her opinion and does not provide ready-made answers. He/she is an inspiration and helps to discover potential and indicates development opportunities.
