About the program

NF Alumni Mentoring is a faculty mentoring programme that builds long-term professional ties between graduates of the Faculty of Economics at VŠE (mentors) and current students (mentees). The programme focuses on sharing practical experience, supporting career planning and developing soft skills in a friendly, structured environment.

Mentees: students in bachelor's and master's programmes at the NF of VŠE who want professional guidance, practical advice and to develop their career potential.

Mentors: graduates of the NF of VŠE who are willing to share experience, meet with a student regularly (typically about once a month) and can hold in-person meetings on the VŠE campus.

How the program works

Participants complete applications and mentoring pairs are matched based on the information provided.
The first step is an introductory meeting, followed by regular individual collaboration between mentor and mentee.
The programme is complemented by optional workshops and group events (for example speed‑dating, themed workshops focused on personal development, stress management, mindfulness, leadership, etc.).
