• Knowledge of the reality of one's professional sector
• Access to companies that recruit talent
• The trust and security of a guiding relationship based on stimulation of and support for initiative and personal autonomy by an experienced figure
• Three RAC credits on the curricular record, should the mentorship be passed. This must entail attendance of 80% of the sessions given, presentation of an Elevator Pitch and delivery of an Action Plan

* Mentors are activated if they fit the student's choice of professional field

UAB alumni with professional experience and who have led teams and/or projects, supporting and guiding other people during their career, and who want to contribute their experience and help the mentee to:

• Discover their potential
• Forge their personal and professional development plan
• Create their own network of contacts
• Get their first professional experiences

• The experience of guiding other people and helping them to grow
• Enjoy a skills training programme
• Networking with a diversity of professional profiles outside of their usual environment

• The programme starts with the announcement of the pairing between student and professional. The mentor will be selected depending on the mentee's area of knowledge and their work interest. The programme will do its best to adjust to the mentorship request and guarantees that the mentor will have the same qualification as the student.
• The programme will be run in online and/or face-to-face group sessions involving the mentors and mentees.
• Short sessions and tools will be offered related to professional competencies and skills, such as negotiation and assertive communication.
• There will be meetings between mentors and mentees throughout the programme, as well as visits to the company where the mentor works professionally.
• Mentees who are accepted to the programme will be able to obtain 3 RAC credits for their curricular record, should they successfully pass the mentoring programme, for which they will need to attend 80% of the sessions, present the Elevator Pitch and deliver the Action Plan.
• The mentoring programme is run from the beginning of November 2024 to the beginning of May 2025. It lasts approximately 6 months with an afternoon schedule of activities, not including meetings and visits between the mentor and the mentee, which will be at the discretion of the participants. The activities are scheduled to be both online and face-to-face, specifically on the UAB Campus.
• Anyone who says they do not have enough time to satisfactorily take the programme, as well as any students who plan to go on an exchange programme in the academic year in question, will be excluded from the mentoring programme selection procedure.
