Mentoring Hessen
Mentoring Hessen is a joint project of Hessian universities and universities of applied sciences to advance the careers of women. The aim is to increase the percentage of women in attractive specialist and management positions in both academia and business. With the help of four different lines of support, young women are supported and guided through the decisive phases of their professional development. Participation in the mentoring program is highly encouraged in Tree-M - please contact the project coordination regarding reimbursement of the fees.
