VBKI-MENTORING
Application start for the 2025 cohort of the VBKI Mentoring Program
The VBKI Mentoring Program is a 9-month individual learning process combined with an exchange of experience and knowledge transfer between two people. The mentor involves the mentee seeking a solution and passes on relevant experience. It is a give and take for both sides.
After the final event of this year's mentoring program took place in October, the application period for next year's cohort is now beginning.
There are some new features: In addition to the kick-off and closing events and the individual meetings of the tandems, several network meetings of all mentors and mentees are planned. Alumni meetings are also being planned in order to offer participants a long-term community.
There are also changes to the application process: Anyone interested in becoming a mentor should propose at least one mentee, mentees should propose a mentor who should also be placed. VBKI membership is not a prerequisite. If you would like to participate, please contact us at mentorenprogramm@vbki.de.
Everything you need to know at a glance:
🌟 Two are better than one - apply as a duo! To take part, please suggest a second person from your network who would also like to be a mentor or mentee. Don't worry: this person will not be your own mentor or mentee, but will also be suitably matched.
VBKI membership not required - The program offers you the opportunity to get to know the VBKI for 9 months, without any obligations.
🤝 Perfect matches - We use a short questionnaire to ensure that each tandem is an ideal match and can grow together.
🌍 Community and networking events - As a participant, you are not alone! Numerous networking events offer space for exchange and new contacts. And: you also have access to the exclusive alumni community!
Have we aroused your interest?
Then send your completed questionnaire to mentorenprogramm@vbki.de.
We look forward to seeing you!

When I was nominated to the VBKI a few years ago, I also took the opportunity to take part in the VBKI mentoring program. The famous "thinking outside the box", sparring on topics relating to leadership, professional development and a very personal exchange - these are just some of the aspects that moved me together with my mentor at the time, Daniela Teichert. To this day, I am very grateful to her for her impulses and the very valuable exchange at an earlier stage of my career. Taking part is worthwhile - for both sides!
