Do you want to become a Mentor for International Nursing Students?
The Faculty of Health and Welfare is now looking for mentors in the fields of nursing, clinical laboratory work, and beauty care for autumn and winter 2025!
As a mentor, you’ll have the opportunity to guide and support a third-year student by acting as a sounding board, discussing and reflecting on various topics related to the profession and working life. The goal is to help students strengthen their professional identity while gaining deeper insight into Finnish work culture.
The mentoring programme runs from September to January. At the start of the mentorship, you and your mentee will jointly set a schedule and goals.
We hope that you, as a mentor, have:
- Education in healthcare, Biomedical Laboratory science, Beauty care
- Work experience from Finland
- Genuine interest and openness toward mentoring (no previous experience required)
- Availability to meet your mentee at least 4–6 times during the programme
As a mentor, you will receive:
- Insight into a student’s everyday life
- Training, support, and materials related to mentoring
- Opportunities to expand your network through contact with other mentors and mentees (including kickoff and closing events)
- The chance to support a student’s development by giving just a little of your time
- Valuable experience for your CV
The official language of the programme is English, but you are welcome to practice Swedish or Finnish with your mentee if desired.
If you’re interested, please submit your (non-binding) expression of interest by August 24, 2025!
The registration form is available via the link.
