About the volunteering opportunity
Successfully completing a dual vocational training program is associated with a variety of requirements for trainees. Not all of them are up to it. Therefore, too many young people still drop out of their training prematurely. Our mentoring project "BOA support and orientation for trainees" starts there, with the aim of "Ensuring training success - avoiding interruptions".
We rely on individual 1:1 mentoring outside the training company. You as a mentor are the contact person for youths or young adults in the dual vocational training system. Your tasks as a mentor are based on the goals set by the mentee as well as the agreed contents. The aim is to successfully master challenges in a relationship of trust and thus to promote the professional and personal development of the trainee. Mentors and mentees are brought together in a targeted matching process based on the initial situation. The individual support includes a 14-day contact rhythm (by arrangement between mentor and mentee) in person, by telephone and/or by e-mail, WhatsApp, Skype etc.
How we support you in the project:
- Expense allowance
- free qualifications and workshops for mentors with certificate
- Supervision and support during the project by permanent project coordinators
- regular mentor coaching
- Brunch voucher for two persons to redeem in the restaurant "Alten Mensa"
- joint events (e.g. Christmas party)
- Public transport single tickets (according to contingent)
- Certificate of participation for volunteer work in the project
- Honorary office card (volunteer pass)
