What is alma mentoring?



The alma mentoring program at the University of Vienna supports you on your individual career path: your personal mentor accompanies you for six months, providing targeted support for your next professional steps — even if you’re not yet sure where they are headed. 

Through regular conversations, yourmentor will share their personal experience and stand by your side as a source of guidance. You decide which career topics you want to focus on together.

The goal:


In the mentoring program, you will develop your personal skills and professional abilities — and, with the support of your mentor, successfully take the next steps on your individual career path.

What makes mentoring so effective? 

• First-hand experience


Whether you're just starting your career or have recently graduated — your mentor has already been through this journey and can help you find the next steps that are right for you and achieve your goals.

• Individual support


In addition to valuable knowledge and experience, your mentor offers personal support — through motivating impulses, thought-provoking questions, and reflective conversations.

• Long-term guidance


Mentoring is a process. As many of your questions and challenges are likely to change along the way, you benefit from continuous support and an experienced perspective on the development of your goals over a period of six months.

Mentoring topics:

On the alma mentoring platform, you can choose a mentor based on your goals from two focus areas:
    •    Career entry and career orientation
    •    Self-employment and entrepreneurship
For both areas, mentors with a wide range of expertise and support offers are available to guide you.
