Mentoring program "HAWKarriere"

The HAWKarriere mentoring program of the Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) as part of the federal-state program FH-Personal is a cross-university mentoring program for young academics and newly appointed professors (mentees).

In the HAWKarriere program, mentees are individually supported on their path of personal and professional development. The HAWKarriere mentoring program offers them the opportunity to gain clarity about their next career steps or how to deal with current challenges, to set individual goals and to approach them in a self-determined manner with the support of suitable mentors (usually UAS professors). The program is based on a collaboration between several universities in order to offer participants a broad spectrum of experiences and perspectives for exchange. It is primarily aimed at the universities participating in the HAWKarriere mentoring program and can be opened up to other UASs in Baden-Württemberg in the future.

As advisors, knowledge brokers, role models, career advisors or door openers, the individually addressed mentors offer mentees support in questions relating to professional and career planning with the overarching goal of an UAS professorship or its organization. As experts in their field, mentors can provide well-founded insights into the current professional world of the UAS professorship and advise and support their mentees in a variety of ways.
