- Mentor Program
Alumni and Tracer studies and Career Center developed the Arba Minch University Career Mentor Program. This program gives students the chance to prepare themselves for the job market. A mentor acts as a role model. Students can ask questions about their study program or career path and learn from the experiences of the mentor.
As an alumnus of Arba Minch University you can sign up to become a mentor. You support the current generation of students, but also re-connect with the university and your education. Besides that, you control the amount of time you want to volunteer and how. You can contact each other in person, but also via mail, phone or Skype.
Interested in becoming a mentor? Contact Alumni and Tracer Studies Associate Registrar Office.
As a mentor you can have different roles:
Motivator: Motivate the student by expressing your confidence in the student’s capabilities. Encourage him/her to try new things and take on new challenges.
Resource: Teach the student how he/she can build a network of professional contacts and how to maintain these contacts. Introduce the student to new people, let them discover new places or give them new ideas.
Supporter: Encourage an open and honest dialogue. Listen and react to the needs of the student.
Coach: Contribute to the development of the student. And make sure he/she commits his-/herself to realistic and feasible goals.
