HAMK Alumni Mentoring Programme 2026 – Call for alumni worldwide
HAMK Career Services warmly invites all HAMK alumni from all over the world to join the HAMK Alumni Mentoring Programme 2026 as mentors for HAMK degree students.
The programme connects HAMK graduates with current students from various fields, supporting students in their studies, career planning, and understanding of working life.
By becoming a mentor, you’ll have the chance to share your expertise, exchange ideas, and strengthen your connection to the HAMK community while developing your own leadership and communication skills.
Every background and story can offer valuable perspective and encouragement to students.
The Alumni Mentoring Programme is part of HAMK’s alumni activities. In collaboration with The Moment Project, it offers services and events that help alumni stay connected to the HAMK community. Through these initiatives, alumni can participate in mentoring, expand their professional networks, and access support services that promote personal and career development.
