Three roles for alumni: placement mentor, mentor at the school, guest lecturer.
Mentor to placement students
You take a student into your company for the 800-hour practical training and act as their mentor: you agree tasks from the module, follow the placement diary and give an assessment at the end. Before the first placement you complete a free pedagogical-andragogical seminar for mentors (RRF).
- mentoring three placement students counts as a notable achievement for the title of short-cycle college lecturer
- an employer-sponsored scholarship or a job after graduation – first access to talent
Mentor to students at the school
An alumni mentor accompanies a student of the same programme through the academic year: two to three meetings (in person or online) about careers, module choice and the first job. You also take part in the mock job interview and in business breakfasts with employers.
- the Careers Centre pairs you with a student and prepares a short introduction
- a mentoring certificate and an invitation to the graduation ceremony
Guest lecturer
Predstavite primer iz svoje prakse pri modulu, na uvodnih dnevih ali kot izziv podjetja na Spring Weeku – 45 do 90 minut, v Mariboru, Ljubljani ali prek spleta. Če želite predavati redno, vas vabimo med predavatelje iz gospodarstva.
- we prepare the materials and the technology, you bring the case
- a route to the title of short-cycle college lecturer or instructor
