Mentoring New mentors – suitable for your needs?
Do you have questions, need tips or would you like a sympathetic ear to discuss an individual matter outside your usual environment?
At HAI Mentoring, you will find people to talk to about a wide range of topics, such as studying, doctoral studies, research, job hunting, career planning, working and living abroad.
