FAQ

What is mentoring?

Mentoring is an individual support relationship between an experienced person (mentor) and a less experienced person (mentee) in which the focus is on the needs of the person being supported. The central element of mentoring is the personal exchange between mentee and mentor in a trusting, equal and protected environment. Both professional and interdisciplinary issues can be addressed and worked on. This form of collaboration enables mentees to go through personal learning processes and also offers both sides the opportunity to gain new insights and valuable experience.

Our mentors

The majority of our mentors are TU Dresden alumni. They work in companies, in the public sector or are entrepreneurs or founders themselves. They volunteer to pass on their professional and personal experience and knowledge to the participants. Where possible, we put the mentoring tandems together to suit the degree program, but we are also happy to take personal preferences into account. Mentoring meetings can take place offline or online.
