Mentoring

In our mentoring programme, experienced professionals support early-career individuals and career changers throughout their professional journey.

Which of these applies to you?

Ready to take the next step in your career – with the right support?

We’re delighted to introduce a mentoring programme designed specifically for people like you.

What to expect

As a mentee, you receive personalised support from an experienced nutrition professional on career questions, career decisions, personal development, and professional direction.

Structure of the mentoring programme

The programme is based on regular conversations between mentee and mentor. Topics are defined together according to your individual needs.

Duration and process

The mentoring programme runs for one year, starting each spring. After matching and a detailed kick-off meeting with other mentees, you arrange your first meeting with your mentor and then organise further meetings flexibly.

Language

The SWAN mentoring programme is aimed at academically trained nutrition professionals (or those in training) who wish to establish themselves in the Swiss market. The programme is conducted in German; a minimum German language level of B2 is required for participation.

Registration

Complete the registration form on our website. We will review your application and match you with a suitable mentor. The registration deadline is 30 October each year (for mentoring in the following year).
