Still don't know the mentor program?

El Mentor program It was created with the aim of guiding first-year students in topics related to administration, teaching and university life.

At the beginning of the course, an activity is carried out so that the management team and the mentors welcome the mentees and introduce them to the rest of the participants in this initiative.

What is the purpose of the Mentor Program?

Assign new students (the mentees) to a veteran student (the mentors), to receive guidance from a person who has been in the same place not long ago.

y the Professional Mentor program?

TAI-certified Professional Mentoring is part of the program Student Support, in which the Escuela Superior de Informática tries, on the one hand, to help final year students integrate into the job market and, on the other hand, to maintain links with their graduate students.

Objective:

The objective of the Program is to facilitate a link between mentor and mentee, through which the graduate (mentor) offers a guidance and support service that helps the final year student (mentee) to prepare for their integration into the labor market, providing their experience and knowledge.

Professional Mentoring is an instrument to articulate the relationship between mentor and mentee, through several iterations, in which the mentor helps to progressively build the professional identity of the mentee:

• Self appraisal: it is the first stage of the process, where the mentor asks the student a series of questions related to his vision of his professional future and that allow to determine his abilities and skills, in a quantitative way.
• Iterative meetings, aimed at enhancing their skills.
• Ending: it is the last stage of the process, at the end of the course the mentor will check the evaluation of his mentee and to what degree the different soft-skills worked on have been acquired”

The School, through this Program, can contribute to this work through specific training, both for mentors and mentees, through workshops, talks and seminars of interest. It is a voluntary and altruistic program, like the Mentor Program, and lasts for one academic year. This program will be launched in the next academic year 2022/2023.
