Mentors & Partners.
Mentoring depends on the commitment of the individual. The programme relies on volunteers and neither mentors nor mentees are paid for their involvement. Mentor and mentee are free to determine how their relationship will work, as mentoring must avoid bureaucracy. Those who take part in the programme as a mentor show the value they attach to their employer, the wider economy and the other partners in the programme. In turn, those values are reflected back to each individual by the community engaged in the programme.
Our Mentors & Partners.
The mentors themselves are highly qualified and experienced staff from a range of sectors and businesses. The companies involved are our partners because they release staff to become mentors and open up their networks of contacts to the mentees. The Mentoring Programme also benefits from the support of a number of sector associations and trade bodies.
Erika Bachmann, Director Support
Social Department, City of Zurich
As a mentor, I want to pass on my experience and help someone who is in a tight spot. I see mentoring as a mutual benefit.
Urs Peter Naef

Other people should be able to profit from my vast experience. I volunteer as a mentor because I have learned more than once in my career how valuable one can be.
Nicola Fielder

I participate in the mentoring programme because I enjoy supporting job seekers as a sparring partner while using and expanding my own network.
Stefan Seiler

Hélène Roth, Director
Roth Language Atelier
As a managing director and mentor, I can share my experience; including the experience you would rather keep for yourself, but that can help the mentee to take a step forward. Mutual trust is playing an important role in that relationship.
Thomas Altermatt, Head of Service
Strategic Enterprises, Swisscom
I am looking forward to interesting conversations and I am convinced to meet hidden talents thereby.
Michael Weiss, Director

Bogdan Vasile, Director
Propulsion Academy AG
A lot has changed in my field of IT during the last decade and change will continue at a faster pace in the future. It’s has become a serious challenge for too many to keep up. Transitioning to a new opportunity is hard unless you have a mentor and a support group. I’d like to help you as a mentor with my experience and my contacts.
Thomas Isler
President, VZAI
The Employers‘ Organization of Zürich supports this mentoring project of the Zürich labour market authorities. We like the pragmatic and target-oriented approach, and we encourage our executives to participate actively in the programme.
Andreas König
Director, Logjob AG
As personnel consultants we are aware of the problems of highly qualified over 45-year-old job seekers. The pragmatic mentoring programme connects public support with private sector commitment. We are happy to support such a project that benefits all of the involved.
Mathias Dick
Owner, todai GmbH
Well-educated and experienced people as the pillars of our economy should be able to find their way back to employment as quickly as possible. With my many years of experience and my wide network I can help them; as I know what I am talking about.
