Conditions!

Mentees need to have finished any active role in AIESEC. This program is for alumni only.
Where a formal active alumni organization exists, all participants need to be official members of that alumni association. Where it does not, an alumnus coordinating the program (Emil Kos) will confirm the eligibility of the program candidates.
Mentors need to have 10+ years of professional experience in the field they would like to be mentors in.
Mentors by profession are not allowed in the program! The goal is to provide mentorship opportunities and not to seek potential clients.
All candidates must participate in the mandatory entry online training! There won’t be any 2nd round of training nor a recording (these are interactive training with exercises). Only trained candidates will be considered for matching!

Costs?

The OC and the Kingmakers organize the program completely free. Where an official alumni association exists, the participation in the program is free for alumni with a paid membership.

In Slovenia, each participant covers 35 € fee. The contribution will be used in its entirety for the initiation of the national alumni organisation in Slovenia. Each participant must transfer the contribution to the account communicated to them before the start of the program.

How to apply?

Mentors

Thanks for the program (and the mentor) I jumped over a few levels of self-consciousness

The relationship will last beyond this program
The mentor was always prepared and available for advise any time

I’m satisfied with this program because 1) it was professional, 2) mentor was very inspiring, 3) I reached by goal

My initial goal evolved during the program, I could get to know myself better and every meeting brought new thoughts on future career development

I learned to listen better

Basing on my mentee’s influence I took a decision to do something that I haven’t dared to do for 20 years

The development of the mentee, her work on herself, her happiness are my greatest satisfaction. I worked on my patience and listening skills – here was my biggest growth.

An interesting view from the other side, wide perspective, mastering of leadership skills
