Why get a mentor?

As a student, a mentor can be an invaluable support, helping you gain clarity on your ambitions, find direction in your academic development, and achieve greater well-being in everyday life. The mentor can also help create a study plan that aligns with your goals and assists you in staying organized and focused. They support you in developing skills and habits that contribute to your overall growth, such as time management, life mastery, and effective communication.

Why become a mentor

You can make a huge difference as a mentor. Your experiences are invaluable to a mentee seeking sparring for the many doubts and opportunities in their career. By sharing the paths, shortcuts, and detours you have taken throughout your career, you help the mentee turn possible doubts into clarity.

At the same time, you gain new learning, insights, and perspectives on your own work life and professionalism. You also have ample opportunity to develop your leadership and coaching skills and improve your communication abilities by conveying your own experiences in a constructive way. Additionally, you get the chance to meet other mentors and thereby expand your professional network.

Registration process

It is important that you fill out your profile thoroughly regarding what you as a mentee want to work on and what you as a mentor can contribute to a mentoring program. Based on your profile, you as a mentee will be presented with two to three potential mentors, from whom you can request one to be your mentor. As a mentor, it is only possible to have one mentee at a time.

It is important that you fill out your profile thoroughly so we ensure that you are only contacted by relevant matches.
Remember that your profile will be read by several mentors/mentees, so avoid writing private or sensitive information. If a good match is found and a mentor accepts your request, the registration is then binding. Naturally, IDA cannot guarantee personal chemistry between mentor and mentee.

The mentor and mentee meet 4-6 times in a 6-month course. The meetings typically last 1 1/2 hours, and it is your responsibility as a mentee to prepare the agenda.

After matching

After matching, you will be invited to the Mentor Kickoff Event in Copenhagen or Aarhus along with the other matched mentees and mentors at the start of the program. If you have not been able to attend the kickoff, you can sign up for our autumn round. It is mandatory to attend the next kickoff for new mentors and mentees. Travel allowance is provided in connection with the kickoff.

Additionally, there is a mandatory mentor masterclass meeting once a year.
