The communication methods during the mentorship programme can be via email, Skype, phone calls and other methods as mentee and mentor see fit.

Language: The mentoring is in English. However, it is possible to have a mentor speaking the Dutch language.

Duration: The programme runs for a 6 month period. Once partnerships are made, mentors and mentees meet over 2 times per month to discuss career goals, skills, portfolios and best practices.

The programme starts with a kick-off session moderated by the professional HR mentor and is concluded by a closing session to share experiences and facilitate ‘lessons learned‘.
