Looking for a mentor or would you like to be a mentor?
Now is your chance to apply for the International Mentor Programme – and get a great opportunity to be matched with a mentor/students during the spring semester 2024.
The overall aim with the international mentor programme is to provide international students at Aarhus BSS an opportunity to learn more about the Danish job market and work culture and hopefully provide a relevant and meaningful framework via a new professional relation and one-to-one/group mentoring. We hope this programme will pave the way for a better career path in Denmark after graduation.
We invite Aarhus BSS alumni and our partner companies to be part of the mentor group. The students will exclusively consist of international students from Aarhus BSS (Herning and Aarhus).
The programme will kick off on 21 February 2024 in Aarhus and will be concluded in June 2024.
