[obsah] => Registration Guidelines
Events and services of the Counselling and Career Centre of the UCT Prague
- Any interested person ( an applicant, student, graduate or employee) can register for a CCC event/service on the selected date and time via the registration system, or by e-mail or other offered method (depending on the selected event/service)
- After registration, the place at the event/service is reserved for the participant and the CCC is counting on their participation.
- The registration fot an event/service can be independently cancelled in the same way as the registration (i.e. in the registration system, by e-mail or otherwise). Especially for events/services bookable via the login system, please use the system again for possible cancellation, e-mail only in extreme cases (e-mail communication gets stuck easily).
- Unless otherwise stated (in the registration system), you must cancel the registration at least 24 hours before the scheduled time.
- For late cancellation, or even absence without canceling, we will issue a "warning".
- After two warnings have been issued, i.e. on the third late or unexcused absence (in all CCC events/services) we issue a "stop notice" on all of the CCC development events/services (lectures, courses and workshops, career counseling, mentoring). For CCC counselling events/services (psychological counselling, services for SSN students) cancellations will be dealt with on an individual basis.
- Warnings and stop notices are valid for one academic year.
Why?
We offer events and services free of charge. They are administratively, financially and staff-intensive to organize. If you sign up for an event/service and end up not using it (with or without a late apology), you are unnecessarily draining our capacity and taking up space for someone who would like to use it to its full potential. Last but not least, proper scheduling and a proper early excuse, if any, is the basic equipment of an educated person and an indispensable skill for life.

[autor] => Counselling and Career Centre
[autor_email] => pkc@vscht.cz
[obsah] => Studying and time spent at university is full of new experiences, but often also challenges and smaller or bigger problems. At the CCC, we can help you with them and offer the services of a variety of experts or experienced colleagues and classmates.
During counselling sessions (psychological, socio-legal, career), you can deal with questions about your studies, your future direction, and difficulties that are preventing you from studying, whether it be psychological problems, legal disputes or your social security. Senior colleagues known as Tutors will also be able to advise you on your studies. Once registered, students with specific needs can benefit from compensation and study support that takes into account their medical condition.
You can also make use of the thematic e-learning course Survival Kit, which covers issues of motivation, planning, effective learning, as well as relationships and time management on social media. If you prefer discussion to self-study, join one of the support groups where, under the guidance of an experienced lecturer, you and your classmates will discuss your difficulties and questions and work together to find the best solution.
Do you need help with your studies? Tutoring is there for anyone who wants to catch up on their subjects or, on the contrary, offer their knowledge to others.
If you don't know which service to use, contact the CCC and we will work out a suitable course of action together.

The transition to university
Moving from secondary school to university is a big change that brings you a lot of new opportunities, but also a lot of responsibility. You get freedom in how to organise your time and how much to spend on your studies. On the other hand, you have to keep in mind that school is sometimes challenging and can present you with difficult obstacles.
So be responsible in your approach to your studies but remember that school results are not everything. Take an interest in the people and opportunities around you, network and get involved in other activities. Create a balance that will fulfil you, develop you, and most importantly, entertain you.
Survival Kit for freshmen
Attend lectures from the Survival Kit series that we have prepared especially for first year students. You'll learn how to manage university, how to study and work effectively with time, when to relax, and how to get through your first exams. You'll find out everything you need for the transition to university – including the tricks that will save you while studying.
Ask questions and get advice
The first weeks will be challenging, but you will soon get used to everything. You will have your study group tutor or the Tutors Society at your disposition - senior students who will be happy to help you with questions about your studies, tutoring, or other school-related issues. For questions related to the organisation of your studies and the schedule, you can contact your study officer who is available at the study department during office hours.
Help with studying
If you have a problem with a subject, check out the tutor database and get help in time.
UCT Prague also offers opportunities for students who have difficulty studying due to health reasons (dyslexia, etc.). Simply register as a student with special needs and the CCC will help you study in an adapted way.
All the information in one place
Essential information about the beginning of your studies, how the university works etc. can be found on the main UCT Prague webpage.
We've compiled all the tips, hints and tricks for your first steps at UCT Prague in the Freshmen's Guide. Information you need about dormitories can be found in the Housing handbook.

You are studying and school takes up a significant portion of your time. Spend enough time on it to complete your studies successfully but remember to include other activities as well. Go to lectures and societies, find part-time work or an internship and try anything you might enjoy. Develop yourself, find your direction and meet new people. This will help you broaden your horizons during your Bachelor's studies, and then you can start to focus on specific fields and goals during your Master's studies.
Study guidance and scholarship assistance
If a subject is a problem for you, visit the tutor database at the Tutors page and get help in time. UCT Prague also offers opportunities for students who have difficulty in studying due to health reasons (dyslexia, etc.). All you have to do is register as a student with special needs and the CCC will help tailor your studies to you.
If you are facing a difficult personal situation complicating your studies or you don't know which direction to take at school and in your career, take advantage of counselling services. The CCC can provide you with a psychologist, career counsellor or socio-legal help.
Get involved in extracurricular activities
You can get involved in a number of student societies that focus on everything from sports, culture, gaming, to event organisation. You can also get involved in the Academic Senate and have a say in the school's affairs.
Sign up for the mentoring programme to find out more about working in the field you're interested in. The school will connect you with a mentor who will show you what their job entails and help you decide on your next career path. They will give you experience and contacts that are guaranteed to come in handy.
The CCC regularly organizes courses and workshops to help you improve your practical skills. External experts focus on topics such as critical thinking, effective communication and financial literacy. In addition, a number of workshops offer the possibility of awarding a certificate, which may prove useful when you apply for a job.
Work experience and job opportunities
Development within part-time jobs or internships can also help you with your future direction. In cooperation with chemical technology companies, UCT Prague provides internship programmes or part-time work that allows you to get a glimpse into the industry and try out how a working team operates.
At the latest in Year 3, visit the school Chem-iK Job Fair and find out what opportunities the job market offers. The sooner you start looking at job offers, attending lectures with practitioners, reading interviews and getting to know people in the field, the easier it will be to find the right career path. Observe what's going on around you, evolve and sooner or later you will find whatever fulfils you.
All the information in one place
Essential information concerning your studies, study regulations and administration etc. can be found on the main UCT Prague webpage.
We've compiled everything you might need during your studies in the Bachelor Studies Guide. How to choose a topic for your bachelor's thesis, how to pass the state exams, but also what to do outside of school.
In the Master Studies Guide (only in CZ for now) we look at school commitments, but also what comes afterwards, such as finding your first job.
Information you need about dormitories can be found in the Housing handbook.
In the e-learning course Survival Kit, you will find articles, podcasts, videos and other inspiration on topics such as well-being, lifestyle and relationships.
A diploma and the decision on what to do next
Graduation is mainly associated with writing a good final thesis and the successful completion of state examinations. But beyond that, you also have to decide where to go next. There are plenty of options, so it's a good idea to explore all of them carefully – do you want to continue your studies or start a job in the industry? Which position is best for you?
How to write a thesis
On the school Intranet, you will find (after logging in) basic information on writing theses - a sample document, tips on writing and citing, how to print and submit the thesis, etc.
The National Library of Technology (NTK) offers you free participation in courses, workshops and personal consultations that can help you a lot with writing your thesis. You will learn how to structure your text, where to find expert sources, and how to cite them. Other useful lectures are also organized by the Tutors Association.
Final graduation
Graduation is the final ceremony that officially concludes your studies. Together with your classmates, after completing state exams and defending your final thesis, you will take the solemn oath and receive your diploma. The ceremony has a specific programme and dress code, which you will learn in due time (see the brochure Graduation and Alumni for basic information).
Find a job you enjoy
If the time has come to find a job after school but you're still not sure which direction to take, take advantage of the free career counselling services.

The Best Preparation for Freshman Year
Interesting Free Lectures
Study and psychological well-being
Learn how to work with stress and emotions or how to relax properly.
Relaxation
Relax and study? They go together! Try a relaxation lesson on campus and learn how to work effectively with stress.
How will it work? In a small group, you will try out different types of relaxation, mindfulness or imagery. You will be sitting or lying on blankets, so comfortable clothes are recommended (not the best way to relax in tight jeans or a short skirt).
Come repeatedly! Regular relaxation can help you with improving attention and reducing anxiety. The Tuesday appointment once every 14 days, always at 3pm, is particularly good for this. But of course you can choose any available dates that suit you.
Lecturer: Mgr. Alžběta Krejčová, psychologist at CCC UCT Prague
Workshop: working with emotions
Learn to understand your own emotions! In a safe environment, you will try creative and unconventional ways to find out who you really are and how you function. You will use techniques with therapeutic cards or other tools or imagery. At the same time, you will activate your right cerebral hemisphere, develop your creativity and in turn give your analytical thinking a rest.
The workshop is intended for students of the Prague University of Technology and the Czech Technical University. It also offers a unique opportunity to meet people outside your social bubble.

Augmented reality & virtual reality
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) connect the digital and physical worlds. They allow you to experience information and content visually in the same way you experience the world. AR greatly expands the ways our devices can help us in everyday activities such as finding information, shopping and expressing ourselves. VR, in turn, allows us to experience what it's like to go anywhere - from the front row at a concert to distant planets in space.
What is the future of VR and AR, who are the industry leaders and is it worth investing in virtual and augmented reality?
Lecturer: Thomas De Bruyne
Date: 17 October 2023 from 16:00 to 19:00; during the event there will be an opportunity to try out AR and VR
Build your personal brand!
In today's world, we need to be able to sell ourselves well - our skills and talents. That's why today not only entrepreneurs, but also employees and job seekers are building their personal brand. It sends a clear message to the world about who they are, what they can do and where they are going. Then they use it to get a good job, develop their career or go into business.
The workshop will give you practical tips on how to find out what you have to offer and how to make a good strategy for promoting yourself. And how to use it all in creating a unique CV, editing your LinkedIn profile, or the way you present yourself at a job interview.
In many multinational companies, further work on your personal brand is now a must. It can be very useful when you get promoted to a higher position or get the opportunity to work on an interesting project. Come and think about what makes you unique and how to communicate this to others.

How to get along with a boss a generation older
At work, you are likely to meet people who are significantly older than you and will be your superiors. They will try to guide you, motivate you, evaluate you... and they may not fully understand you, or you them. It is said that the gap between generations is now widening thanks to the development of technology and new technologies, and in practice this is often borne out. This is due to the fact that the world is changing very rapidly and our views and beliefs are largely shaped by the times we grew up in. People 20 (or more) years older than you see the world very differently.
Let's talk about how these worlds are generally different, and together we'll figure out what to do to build bridges between them - how to get along better, get along better together. There will also be space for practical practice and "acting out" situations if you wish.
Lecturer. Dr. Ing. Markéta Raková
Date: 30 October 2023 from 16:00
How to "sell" your SVK
It is said that you become a master when you have accumulated 10,000 hours or served 10 years in a given field. Most of us start speaking around the first year of life, so we should all be masters of speaking before entering high school. So, how is it that we are still afraid to speak in public after 10 years? And why isn't the same thing happening to us when it comes to telling stories in Carbone? Does the presentation of results always have to be bland and austere, or can it be done in other ways?
The basics of storytelling and effective communication, using body language or overcoming fear and stage fright. All this will be discussed in the workshop, which will be followed by a presentation consultation for SVK.
Lecturer. Ing. Václav Bystrianský
Date: 6 November 2023 from 14:00
Freshman, sophomore behind you: figure out where you're going
The moment you've done a bit of research at university, it's a good time to start taking the first steps towards your future career. If you leave all this until after you graduate, you'll probably find that your better-prepared classmates have passed you by. Or you may find out quite late that you're missing something essential to getting your dream job.
We'll talk about how to think about your future career, how to choose a field or environment in which you'll thrive, and how to gradually build a good foundation for a successful leap into practice. We'll also talk about part-time jobs during your studies and what you're most likely to say to a future employer on your CV or at interview.
Lecturer: Dr. Markéta Raková

Master your budget and navigate basic contracts and legislation
Financial and/or legal literacy will come in handy every day.
Financial literacy
How does a financially literate person behave? How to avoid becoming a debtor today? And what does a typical borrower look like? Do you know the basic financial products? Can you make a budget?
If you want to know the answer to these and other questions, come! The workshops are loosely connected, participation in the second meeting is not conditional on participation in the first.
Part I - What will you learn?
- We will explain how to be financially literate.
- We will review basic financial products and how to choose them according to your life situation.
- We'll look at why and how to set personal and family budgets.
Part II - What will you learn?
- You'll find out what you need to pay, what to watch out for and how to prevent debt.
- We'll go over the characteristics of a "typical" debtor.
- We will look at the different paths between debt and foreclosure.
Lecturers: Veronika Jírová & Ing. Lukáš Bažanovský
Legal literacy
The legal literacy lecture series will provide participants with a basic overview of the legal system and insight into various legal matters (contracting, civil litigation, criminal proceedings). You will learn the general basics of law, the principles of legal proceedings and how to navigate the law. We will take a detailed look at contract and promissory note law, which are useful to understand better, including a detailed analysis of specific contracts and promissory notes.
The entire series is designed to be interactive, discussing specific real-world situations, what to watch out for, and there will be plenty of room for your questions (prepare questions on anything that interests you). The series will prepare you for common life situations - you will learn to understand the basic types of contracts and how to check or adjust them.
There are three lectures that build on each other and you must take all three.
Lecturer: Ing. Martin Novák

Job opportunities in clinical research in pharmaceuticals and medical devices
Clinical research is one of the areas where students of the University of Applied Sciences and Technology can find a good job. At the same time, they usually learn only theoretical information about it, e.g. about the phases of CH, ethical aspects and legislative regulation. The aim of the lecture is to convey information that will allow us to imagine the practical implementation of projects of international scope and the roles of the individual participants. It describes the progress of projects from the search for collaborating centres and the selection of suitable countries, through the conclusion of contracts, approval by regulatory authorities, the actual implementation and the conclusion of the project. The usual composition of teams/division of work among specialists on the side of the contracting or service organization, regulatory authorities. The division between activities carried out centrally and at the level of the individual countries involved: potential career paths, necessary qualities, knowledge, and experience.

Mentoring helps you with your career and personal development
The mentoring programme offers you the opportunity to create an informal relationship with a more experienced practitioner and take a step further on your journey. The cooperation is long-term, has no fixed structure and each mentored student, graduate or employee determines the basic objectives according to his/her individual needs. This can be in the areas of studies, career, and personal life.
There are two mentoring programmes at UCT Prague:
- Undergraduate mentoring– for Bachelor's and Master’s students
- Postgraduate mentoring– for PhD students, graduates and staff
Who is a mentor?
A mentor is someone who has experience in the field and passes it on to their mentee. Ideally, they should be based at an institution other than the one at which the mentee is studying or working. It is often advisable to find an expert in a field that the mentee does not understand so well. This will open up a unique opportunity for them to gain a better understanding of a related field or another issue that might be useful to them - for example, the business side of a scientific project.
Spring cycle of the mentoring programme
The spring cycle will run from February to June 2024. You can sign up for the spring cycle of the mentoring programme from 5.2. to 15.2. Start by filling out the Forms under the link below:

The mentoring programme allows you to gain insight into the environment of companies and institutions or discover what a career in science entails already during your studies.
This is an effective method of learning and development that can greatly help you clarify your career direction and set long-term goals. In addition to gaining valuable experience and contacts, a mentor can help you tackle various academic and personal challenges and obstacles.
Working with a mentor is flexible in terms of time, the scope and format of the meeting depends on your individual agreement.
The capacity of the programme is limited! Do not hesitate to sign up!
Schedule
- Sign up for the programme.
- After signing up, you will participate in a group preparatory workshop where you will clarify your direction and goals for communicating with your mentor. That way, you can then choose the one that will be most beneficial to you.
- You can choose a mentor from those on offer or come to the coordinator with your own proposal. It may happen that several students are interested in one mentor. That's why the final pairing is done through a competition system - after the initial workshop you will have the space to film a short video message(we will discuss tips and tricks during the workshop), and then it will be up to the mentors to decide who they want to work with. If your cooperation does not work, we will try to find you a full replacement.
- Subsequently, 3-4 months of meetings take place. The frequency and content depend purely on the individual agreement between mentor and mentee. We recommend seeing each other at least twice a month. In addition to interviews and meetings, you can visit the mentor in their workplace, observe them at work or get involved in a specific project.
- The programme is concluded with feedback collection and joint networking.
You can sign up from 5.2. to 15.2. 2024 by filling out an online application HERE.
If you have any questions, please contact Tereza Picková, the programme coordinator.

The Best Preparation for Freshman Year
Interesting Free Lectures
Study and psychological well-being
Learn how to work with stress and emotions or how to relax properly.
Relaxation
Relax and study? They go together! Try a relaxation lesson on campus and learn how to work effectively with stress.
How will it work? In a small group, you will try out different types of relaxation, mindfulness or imagery. You will be sitting or lying on blankets, so comfortable clothes are recommended (not the best way to relax in tight jeans or a short skirt).
Come repeatedly! Regular relaxation can help you with improving attention and reducing anxiety. The Tuesday appointment once every 14 days, always at 3pm, is particularly good for this. But of course you can choose any available dates that suit you.
Lecturer: Mgr. Alžběta Krejčová, psychologist at CCC UCT Prague
Workshop: working with emotions
Learn to understand your own emotions! In a safe environment, you will try creative and unconventional ways to find out who you really are and how you function. You will use techniques with therapeutic cards or other tools or imagery. At the same time, you will activate your right cerebral hemisphere, develop your creativity and in turn give your analytical thinking a rest.
The workshop is intended for students of the Prague University of Technology and the Czech Technical University. It also offers a unique opportunity to meet people outside your social bubble.

Augmented reality & virtual reality
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) connect the digital and physical worlds. They allow you to experience information and content visually in the same way you experience the world. AR greatly expands the ways our devices can help us in everyday activities such as finding information, shopping and expressing ourselves. VR, in turn, allows us to experience what it's like to go anywhere - from the front row at a concert to distant planets in space.
What is the future of VR and AR, who are the industry leaders and is it worth investing in virtual and augmented reality?
Lecturer: Thomas De Bruyne
Date: 17 October 2023 from 16:00 to 19:00; during the event there will be an opportunity to try out AR and VR
Build your personal brand!
In today's world, we need to be able to sell ourselves well - our skills and talents. That's why today not only entrepreneurs, but also employees and job seekers are building their personal brand. It sends a clear message to the world about who they are, what they can do and where they are going. Then they use it to get a good job, develop their career or go into business.
The workshop will give you practical tips on how to find out what you have to offer and how to make a good strategy for promoting yourself. And how to use it all in creating a unique CV, editing your LinkedIn profile, or the way you present yourself at a job interview.
In many multinational companies, further work on your personal brand is now a must. It can be very useful when you get promoted to a higher position or get the opportunity to work on an interesting project. Come and think about what makes you unique and how to communicate this to others.

How to get along with a boss a generation older
At work, you are likely to meet people who are significantly older than you and will be your superiors. They will try to guide you, motivate you, evaluate you... and they may not fully understand you, or you them. It is said that the gap between generations is now widening thanks to the development of technology and new technologies, and in practice this is often borne out. This is due to the fact that the world is changing very rapidly and our views and beliefs are largely shaped by the times we grew up in. People 20 (or more) years older than you see the world very differently.
Let's talk about how these worlds are generally different, and together we'll figure out what to do to build bridges between them - how to get along better, get along better together. There will also be space for practical practice and "acting out" situations if you wish.
Lecturer. Dr. Ing. Markéta Raková
Date: 30 October 2023 from 16:00
How to "sell" your SVK
It is said that you become a master when you have accumulated 10,000 hours or served 10 years in a given field. Most of us start speaking around the first year of life, so we should all be masters of speaking before entering high school. So, how is it that we are still afraid to speak in public after 10 years? And why isn't the same thing happening to us when it comes to telling stories in Carbone? Does the presentation of results always have to be bland and austere, or can it be done in other ways?
The basics of storytelling and effective communication, using body language or overcoming fear and stage fright. All this will be discussed in the workshop, which will be followed by a presentation consultation for SVK.
Lecturer. Ing. Václav Bystrianský
Date: 6 November 2023 from 14:00
Freshman, sophomore behind you: figure out where you're going
The moment you've done a bit of research at university, it's a good time to start taking the first steps towards your future career. If you leave all this until after you graduate, you'll probably find that your better-prepared classmates have passed you by. Or you may find out quite late that you're missing something essential to getting your dream job.
We'll talk about how to think about your future career, how to choose a field or environment in which you'll thrive, and how to gradually build a good foundation for a successful leap into practice. We'll also talk about part-time jobs during your studies and what you're most likely to say to a future employer on your CV or at interview.
Lecturer: Dr. Markéta Raková

Master your budget and navigate basic contracts and legislation
Financial and/or legal literacy will come in handy every day.
Financial literacy
How does a financially literate person behave? How to avoid becoming a debtor today? And what does a typical borrower look like? Do you know the basic financial products? Can you make a budget?
If you want to know the answer to these and other questions, come! The workshops are loosely connected, participation in the second meeting is not conditional on participation in the first.
Part I - What will you learn?
- We will explain how to be financially literate.
- We will review basic financial products and how to choose them according to your life situation.
- We'll look at why and how to set personal and family budgets.
Part II - What will you learn?
- You'll find out what you need to pay, what to watch out for and how to prevent debt.
- We'll go over the characteristics of a "typical" debtor.
- We will look at the different paths between debt and foreclosure.
Lecturers: Veronika Jírová & Ing. Lukáš Bažanovský
Legal literacy
The legal literacy lecture series will provide participants with a basic overview of the legal system and insight into various legal matters (contracting, civil litigation, criminal proceedings). You will learn the general basics of law, the principles of legal proceedings and how to navigate the law. We will take a detailed look at contract and promissory note law, which are useful to understand better, including a detailed analysis of specific contracts and promissory notes.
The entire series is designed to be interactive, discussing specific real-world situations, what to watch out for, and there will be plenty of room for your questions (prepare questions on anything that interests you). The series will prepare you for common life situations - you will learn to understand the basic types of contracts and how to check or adjust them.
There are three lectures that build on each other and you must take all three.
Lecturer: Ing. Martin Novák

Job opportunities in clinical research in pharmaceuticals and medical devices
Clinical research is one of the areas where students of the University of Applied Sciences and Technology can find a good job. At the same time, they usually learn only theoretical information about it, e.g. about the phases of CH, ethical aspects and legislative regulation. The aim of the lecture is to convey information that will allow us to imagine the practical implementation of projects of international scope and the roles of the individual participants. It describes the progress of projects from the search for collaborating centres and the selection of suitable countries, through the conclusion of contracts, approval by regulatory authorities, the actual implementation and the conclusion of the project. The usual composition of teams/division of work among specialists on the side of the contracting or service organization, regulatory authorities. The division between activities carried out centrally and at the level of the individual countries involved: potential career paths, necessary qualities, knowledge, and experience.

Mentoring helps you with your career and personal development
The mentoring programme offers you the opportunity to create an informal relationship with a more experienced practitioner and take a step further on your journey. The cooperation is long-term, has no fixed structure and each mentored student, graduate or employee determines the basic objectives according to his/her individual needs. This can be in the areas of studies, career, and personal life.
There are two mentoring programmes at UCT Prague:
- Undergraduate mentoring– for Bachelor's and Master’s students
- Postgraduate mentoring– for PhD students, graduates and staff
Who is a mentor?
A mentor is someone who has experience in the field and passes it on to their mentee. Ideally, they should be based at an institution other than the one at which the mentee is studying or working. It is often advisable to find an expert in a field that the mentee does not understand so well. This will open up a unique opportunity for them to gain a better understanding of a related field or another issue that might be useful to them - for example, the business side of a scientific project.
Spring cycle of the mentoring programme
The spring cycle will run from February to June 2024. You can sign up for the spring cycle of the mentoring programme from 5.2. to 15.2. Start by filling out the Forms under the link below:

The mentoring programme allows you to gain insight into the environment of companies and institutions or discover what a career in science entails already during your studies.
This is an effective method of learning and development that can greatly help you clarify your career direction and set long-term goals. In addition to gaining valuable experience and contacts, a mentor can help you tackle various academic and personal challenges and obstacles.
Working with a mentor is flexible in terms of time, the scope and format of the meeting depends on your individual agreement.
The capacity of the programme is limited! Do not hesitate to sign up!
Schedule
- Sign up for the programme.
- After signing up, you will participate in a group preparatory workshop where you will clarify your direction and goals for communicating with your mentor. That way, you can then choose the one that will be most beneficial to you.
- You can choose a mentor from those on offer or come to the coordinator with your own proposal. It may happen that several students are interested in one mentor. That's why the final pairing is done through a competition system - after the initial workshop you will have the space to film a short video message(we will discuss tips and tricks during the workshop), and then it will be up to the mentors to decide who they want to work with. If your cooperation does not work, we will try to find you a full replacement.
- Subsequently, 3-4 months of meetings take place. The frequency and content depend purely on the individual agreement between mentor and mentee.
