Step Inside:
Become a mentor for prospective students
The students (mentors) and advanced level pupils (mentees) have approx. 6 months to get to know each other and to discuss individual questions and views with each other – during personal meetings on campus, in a café, at university events or by e-mail and chat. Both sides will benefit:
- The mentor will be able to expand his/her valuable social and personal skills. The informal exchange with the mentee strengthens communication skills and ability to empathize. At the same time, he/she can reflect his/her own experiences and expand his/her personal horizon.
- The mentee will get assistance for his study orientation, insight of the desired course of studies from the perspective of a student, and an opportunity to socialize.
A workshop with a communication coach
To prepare for the mentoring situation, there will be a special instruction course for the mentors and a one-day workshop organized by a communication coach. Regular meetings provide the opportunity to exchange ideas beyond the tandem. The events of TUM Mentoring – to which all participants of Step Inside are invited – provide further networking-opportunities beyond the Step Inside program.
