Become a volunteer

Would you like to share your knowledge, experience and network with students and recent graduates? Do you want to support them make choices, develop skills, discover qualities and take the first steps towards the job market? Become a mentor! Make yourself available by e-mail and share your skills. With your practical experience, you can offer your students career prospects and possibly support them in their search for a job or a network. As soon as students sign up for the program, you will be connected to someone as a mentor. From that point onwards, the two of you can give shape to the contact yourselves (e.g. by e-mail or a telephone conversation)

Students and researchers are always looking for respondents. You can help them as a volunteer of the alumni panel. You will occasionally receive online questionnaires and be asked to participate in research on behalf of the alumni relations office. Students always graduate around a certain time and in that period, as part of the alumni panel, you will occasionally receive an email with the available questionnaires. You then have the choice which questionnaire(s) you want to fill out and when you do so. Being a volunteer through the alumni panel: a small effort, from your own home, with which you help students and researchers out a great deal.

Three times a year, across the country, we organize Coach Café. An alumni event that we set up together with the alumni network the Friend of Cobbenhagen. During Coach Café recent graduates come into contact with alumni of several generations who share their experience as coaches from various perspectives. While enjoying a bite to eat and a drink, young and old get inspired: sign up as a coach! #WhereGenerationsMeet
