Are you concerned about transitioning from school to work? Join our mentoring program to develop your professional skills and competencies. The Energy Academy mentoring program starts again in December 2024, and it is organized jointly with the region’s higher education institutions. The companies and local organizations involved in the program include ABB, Danfoss, Etha, Hitachi Energy, City of Vaasa, Vaasan Sähkö and Wärtsilä Finland.
We are looking for promising talents and skilled students who will commit to the mentoring program and can develop themselves while studying before entering the job market. This mentoring program for students offers a unique opportunity to acquire new skills and knowledge in addition to growing your network to support future career opportunities.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for students from various fields in different stages of their studies. Mentee selection is based on the received applications and the mentors’ professional positions and backgrounds.
This year we have around 20 mentors from different business areas (e.g., software development, IT, R&D, sales and marketing, finance, product management, project management, automation, IoT, HR, sustainability, law, HSE, business development).
Mentoring goals
Mentoring is a key tool in development. The tactic knowledge and experience shared during the program will support competence development. The goal of the program is to support you in developing your skills and competencies for employment. The mentoring program will also develop your social skills, and you will gain more confidence.
We greatly value the fresh perspective and experiences that students bring to the program. More specific mentoring goals will be defined together in the beginning of the mentoring process. During the program, we will also organize joint networking events for mentors and mentees.
How can I take part?
The application for the next mentoring program has closed on October 7, 2024. The first networking session (kick-off) for the selected mentor pairs will be held on 3 December 2024. The mentoring program lasts approximately six months. The mentoring sessions will be scheduled with your mentor.
