Mentoring Programme BFH Business School

Gain valuable experience, make important contacts and benefit from the experience of renowned experts: The mentoring programme of the BFH Business School offers a lot to help students to support them personally and to help them in their career planning.

In a mentoring programme, students are in exchange with an experienced professional. The personal needs, interests and goals of the students are the focus of attention. These are formulated at the beginning and are processed and evaluated in the course of the mentoring programme. Mentors are to serve as catalysts who help the students to develop their potential. Possible topics include:

career planning
personal and professional development
networking
wage or other negotiations
business plans and self-employment
reconciling work and family life
exchange on specialist topics
assistance in decision making
insights into the everyday work of the mentor
