Mentoring Programme
The Student in Business Mentoring Programme is an offer aimed at final-year students and new entrants to the labour market
- would you like to be a part of it?
In Education Esbjerg, as part of the Student in Business initiative, we run a student in business mentoring programme in which we match students, who have 6-24 months left of their study programme with mentors from the business community, who have two to eight years of work experience.
Through networking meetings, interviews, sparring and exchanges of experience, the mentoring programme aims to ensure a smoother transition for the student from studies to working life.
The mentoring programme gives mentors a chance to try their hand at one-to-one mentoring, expand their networks among other mentors and help students to get off to a good start in their future careers.
This contributes towards making Esbjerg a more attractive city of education, and helps to secure qualified labour for the employment market in South West Jutland.

Become a mentee - Sign up now
Becoming a mentee means that as a student in a professional bachelor, bachelor or master’s programme, you can be provided with a mentor from a company who has two to eight years of work experience and the same or a similar educational background to yours. With your mentor you will have an opportunity to talk about the conclusion of your studies and your future career.

- The transition from your studies to your first job
- The job application process
- Inspiration on how to apply theory in practice and to larger projects, as well as tips that can help you on your way in your future professional career.
