What is the MATCH MADE MENTORING program?
Are you interested in career development or entrepreneurship? Would you like to to develop your professional skills? Or maybe you would like to share your own expertise and inspire future professionals?
In the joint mentoring program of Kajaani University of Applied Sciences, Kajaani City Municipal Enterprise for Education and Kainuu Entrepreneurs, students, teachers, professionals and experts interested in entrepreneurship meet.

We are organizing a Mentoring Evening open to everyone on Tuesday, February 25th from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM, at the Kaukametsä Auditorium. The event is free of charge. Come and explore the world of mentoring and be inspired by Saimi Hoyer’s speech and the mentoring panel discussion.

Why participate in the mentoring program?
Mentoring benefits both the mentor and the mentee. As a mentor, you gain new perspectives and ideas for your own business or professional work through discussions. You can expand your professional network and connect with talented individuals, professionals, and students in the Kainuu region.
As a mentee, you can gain a better understanding of yourself with the support of a mentor. You can identify and clarify your skills and receive guidance on career planning or business development. A mentor can offer you new perspectives, and their support can help you strengthen your professional self-awareness and confidence.
