Volunteer mentors and students gathered together on 12 June at the University's Turku School of Economics to celebrate the successful end of the mentoring programme for the past academic year. This was the 22nd year of the University's long-running mentoring programme. In the last two years, the programme has been organised in both Finnish and English.
The multidisciplinary mentoring programme of the University of Turku supports the students' transition to working life as well as their professional development. The mentors are University of Turku alumni and other volunteers who want to share their work life experience and views and professional networks with recent graduates.
The aim of academic writing in the Finnish language is to develop the student's communication skills and to support the student to develop into an expert. The goal of academic writing studies is for students to achieve the literary skills needed in their studies, working life, and in their own discipline.
