Think Career: Mentorship Programme

The importance of mentorship and guidance cannot be understated in a world where career paths are as diverse as the individuals walking them. We are thrilled to introduce our revamped mentorship programme called now Think Career.

The three-month program is designed to connect, empower, and help unemployed or underemployed international professionals in Finland find employment in their areas of expertise.

It is open to people from all backgrounds and industries, not just those of African descent.

Connect. Inspire. Succeed:

Think Career commits to matching bright minds with experienced mentors. As a mentee, you will embark on self-discovery, familiarisation with the Finnish job market, and professional growth. Our mentors will guide you through the nuances of job searching, identifying your strengths and weaknesses, and networking.

Think of it as your personalised roadmap to success, tailored with the help of an expert who doesn’t just talk the talk but has walked the walk.

Steering careers in the right direction:

Joining the Think Career Mentorship Programme as a mentor is an exceptional chance to make a lasting impact. Your knowledge, skills, and experience have the power to shape the trajectories of other fellow professionals. Every success story hinges on encounters with people who believe in one’s potential and steer one’s path in the right direction.

Plus, witnessing your mentee’s progress and helping them fulfil their potential is just immensely rewarding.

Community spirit at the heart of Think Career:

At the core of Think Career lies our unwavering community spirit. When you join us, you’re not just gaining mentors but a supportive community of peers. Together, we thrive through shared experiences, helping each other every step of the way.

This communal atmosphere sparks shared learning, creativity, and collective growth.

An important byproduct of this is the networking that Think Career allows you to do, not only with peers and mentors in the various sessions of the programme, but also in a more systematic way via the networking event that marks the culmination of this journey.

Distinguished Finnish companies and organisations converge to share insights into their operations, hiring practices, and commitments to diversity and inclusion. This occasion offers a remarkable platform for our mentees to showcase their potential and actively engage with representatives from a myriad of industries.

Furthermore, it is an opportunity to broaden one’s professional network, forge new relationships, and explore potential career prospects.

Overall, Think Career is where guidance, community, and opportunity converge to forge a path towards your professional aspirations.
