What does Career Mentoring DIVERS stand for?

Career Mentoring DIVERS is a program of the University of Kassel for female* students and doctoral candidates*, which offers support in career orientation, career entry and entry into science. The focus of our activities is on the Kassel region. Career Mentoring DIVERS also stands for the promotion of diversity among the program participants. On the one hand, this means that we specifically support structurally disadvantaged women* in the development of concrete career steps and at the same time support students and doctoral candidates who want to work and/or research on the topic of diversity or are already doing so. The focus of support for all mentees is on career advancement in the transition phases between studies and career, studies and doctorate, and doctorate and career. We pursue the goal of supporting all program participants* in such a way that they can take up a professional activity that corresponds to their qualifications. This is achieved through advice in a tandem with a woman with professional experience (mentor) - the heart of the program - as well as through participation in workshops for further qualification and through networking between the mentees and within the mentoring network.
