What does Career Mentoring DIVERS stand for?
 
Career-Mentoring DIVERS is a program of the University of Kassel for female students* and doctoral students*, which offers support for career orientation, career entry, and entry into academia. The focus of our activities is on the Kassel region. Career Mentoring DIVERS also stands for the promotion of diversity among 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, promote students and doctoral candidates who would like to work and/or research on the topic of diversity or who are already doing so. The support of all mentees focuses on career development at the transitional stages of study-profession, study-doctorate, and doctorate-profession. 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 both through counseling in a tandem with a woman with professional experience (mentor) - the heart of the program - and through participation in workshops for further qualification as well as through networking among the mentees and within the mentoring network.
