Alumni Mentor Program
Do you see a certain career path for yourself and do you want to know more about it? What will it be like in reality? What steps do you need to take to get there? You can learn from our alumni who have already walked the path you envision for yourself! During a meeting you can ask all kinds of questions about his or her career. Which choices were important? What does an employer expect from a young professional? Join our Alumni Mentor Program to get a better insight into your career opportunities!

By means of a phone call, Zoom meeting, walk around the neighborhood, and a cup of coffee, I have gained very useful understandings of how the alumni mentors experienced their studies, the role they are currently in, and what their day-to-day tasks entail.
