Mentoring at University of Venice - TAHK Italy

TreeAndHumanKnot - Reinventing Sustainability

Italy team in collaboration with the Internships Abroad Unit at University of Venice which promotes the Mentoring for International Experience project, gives the students who want to live an international formative experience the opportunity to live one anyway, even if from remote.
TAHK Italy for past 6 months have been working in collaboration with top universities to offer their bright students an opportunity to join Sustainable Internship Program. We have been offered to join the Mentoring for International Experience by Ca'Foscary University of Venice, Italy for their students which accepted as part our Giving First ideology
Mentoring as per UniVe official website is a guided learning process in which an industry veteran, the Mentor, voluntarily makes himself available to put his experience in a specific professional sector at the service of a less expert figure, the Mentee, who from this meeting will be thus able to get invaluable insights, information and strategies that will help him with a view to job orientation and preparation for a possible future internship.
Mentoring for International Experience (MIE) therefore has a dual functionality. It represents both a path of career orientation and professional growth, and a preparatory experience for possible future internships.

The project at a glance
Activity: mentoring, that is both a path leading to a deeper knowledge of the careers and the labour market and a guided learning process aimed at encouraging the personal and professional growth of the participants
