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.

About my network and my experience support, help or even show new ways.
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.
Urs Peter Naef
Senior Consultant
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.
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.
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.
Stefan Seiler
Head HR, UBS Switzerland
We participate in the mentoring programme to improve the employability of job seekers and assume our social responsibility as a company.

Thomas Scholz, Director
SfG Schule für Gesundheitsberufe
I am happy to be a facilitator for job-seeking individuals.
Michael Weiss, Director
Neuorientierung50Plus GmbH
At a certain age, it becomes difficult to reorientate oneself on the labour market. As a coach who supports specialists and executives over 50 on a daily basis, I can help.
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.
