Ilmoittaudu Cross Mentoring -ohjelmaan 30.06.2026 mennessä. Paikkoja rajoitetusti.
Oman yrityksen ja toimialan ulkopuolelta tuleva mentori tuo uusia näkökulmia ja auttaa keskittymään omaan kehittymiseen ilman sisäisiä rajoitteita. Saksalais-Suomalainen Kauppakamari on rekrytoinut mentoreiksi kokeneita johtajia ja kansainvälisen kaupan ammattilaisia Suomesta ja Saksasta. He jakavat osaamistaan, tukevat mentoroitavan kehittymistä ja auttavat näkemään tulevaisuuden haasteet uudesta kulmasta. Mentoroitavan iällä ei ole merkitystä, tärkeämpää on avoin mieli oppia, kehittyä ja sparrailla. Mentorointiohjelma on tarkoitettu työntekijöille ja johtajille, jotka valmistautuvat uusiin vastuisiin esimerkiksi johtamisessa tai kansainvälisessä kaupassa.

Brainstorming ideas and exchanging thoughts helps you see your own challenges in a new light. Dialogue with my German mentor has opened new ways of thinking, which has been particularly useful as I work for a German company.
The program's events bring structure to the mentoring, and the training sessions complement the mentoring discussions well.
Another concrete benefit is that my mentor has opened his own network to me.
