Mentoring

At the Centre for Sustainability, we offer students not only excellent academic opportunities but also mentoring initiatives to help them learn more about career options in the field of sustainability, network with professionals of that field, and be better prepared for the job market.

Women in Sustainability Mentoring Programme

The Women in Sustainability Mentoring Programme is a group mentoring programme for women-identified students currently enrolled in Hertie School graduate programmes. The purpose of the programme is to support young women as they begin their careers, with the aim of helping them navigate and succeed in professions and industries that tend to be male-dominated. Our mentors include senior-level professional women in the fields of climate policy, energy policy or sustainability. Mentors draw on their cross-sectoral experience and leadership experiences to share professional insight and advice.

Sustainability Mentoring Sessions

The Sustainability Mentoring Sessions are ad hoc mentoring sessions for all Hertie School students interested in learning more about career options in the field of sustainability. We invite mentors with different backgrounds to talk to students and share with them career experiences and insights, professional advice and recommendations, and to answer their questions. These sessions also allow students to begin building relationships with professionals of the field.
