Mentoring at the OTH Regensburg

Mentoring - What is it?

Mentoring serves the individual support and further development and can help especially in situations of transition (beginning of studies, end of studies) to better master these situations. The mentoring programs of the OTH Regensburg are an offer to give schoolgirls, first-year students, students and young academics the opportunity to network, to establish contacts, to further develop themselves and to receive support and guidance.

Mentoring is an innovative, effective, and proven tool for supporting young professionals, both in their studies and in their careers.

The basis of mentoring is the self-organized, non-hierarchical relationship between an experienced person (mentor) and a less experienced person (mentee).

 

What does mentoring involve?

The mentoring programs at OTH Regensburg build on the personal relationship between mentee and mentor*. Various aspects can play a role in this:

  • Exchange of experience
  • Passing on informal knowledge and contacts
  • Individual counseling and feedback
  • Career development
  • Support in network development
