ARE YOU CONSIDERING A FUTURE CAREER OUTSIDE ACADEMIA?  

AAU PhD offers a mentorship programme that matches current PhD students, with mentors who have experience in the labour market in all sectors.

Through the AAU Alumni network we have access to a diverse network of qualified mentors with professional experience in both the public and private sector.

 
AS A MENTEE YOU CAN GAIN THE FOLLOWING:

• Clarification of your career goals and a chance for you to kick-start your ensuing development process.
• Feedback on your personal, academic and professional skills and a chance to receive feedback on or develop business ideas.
• An employer’s view on your application and CV.
• An opportunity to expand your network.
• A peer to discuss your well-being as a PhD student with.
   

THE PROGRAMME

The mentoring programme runs over a period defined by you and your mentor  - the numer of meetings, format and frequency is also up to you to decide. We will of course support you during the start of the proram

We match mentees with AAU alumni mentors on the basis of a correlation in competence, expertise, experience, field, and career path (taken and wanted).

The participants will receive material on e-mail about being a mentor/mentee and with tools to use in the process. 

APPLICATION

We aim to provide as many applicants as possible with a mentor. However, we cannot guarantee a mentor for everyone.
