Mentoring programme
(proposal)
external cooperation with Faculty of Informatics of
Masaryk University in Brno (FI MU)
PPS: CZ.1.07/2.4.00/17.0041 2
We see mentoring as...
a mutual interaction between a mentor and a student
based on sharing "personal wisdom" (through mutual exchange
of thoughts, knowledge and ideas about status quo and
principles upon which "things occur") resulting in personal and
professional growth of both student and mentor involved.
While combining mentoring
with coaching...
makes this interaction
more satisfying and fun!
PPS: CZ.1.07/2.4.00/17.0041 3
Why this approach?
We propose coach-mentoring as a response to today's needs
of a modern learning organisation operating
successfully in 21st
century.
… because nowadays we need to work and co-work differently
… because people and organisations can only benefit
from good leadership
… because we need to learn “on the move” → learning by doing
… because it seems that learning by doing is really effective
... because IT companies may benefit from exploring non-technical areas
(methods for creative thinking, team cooperation, (team)leadership,
effective development of competencies and others) and because
they do not benefit from these areas sufficiently.

For whom is mentoring suitable?
● for anyone who's interested in personal mastery
● for students who want “more”
... who desire to become a real professional
and seek an opportunity to grow
● for mentors who want to go beyond well-established
procedures and methods
... who works towards their own personal
and professional growth
... who'd like to become people and/or technology leaders

How is it supposed to work?
1.We put together professionals who'd like to pass along their
knowledge, to help with someone's development and who see in
mentoring potential for their own growth and self-realisation
2.We introduce mentoring opportunity to students FI MU (primarily) and
collect students' applications (CVs and motivation statements)
3.Each mentor selects one student – according to applications of
and/or personal interviews with pre-selected candidates
4.Professionals interested in enhancing mentoring with coaching
methods attend training session on coaching fundamentals
5.Student and mentor attend meetings on regular basis tracking
(student's) progress – depending on chosen type for cooperation
(with safety net in form of individual coaching for mentors)
6.Evaluation – participants give feedback

applications
for each
mentor to
a separate folder

5. Coach-mentoring
● “free cooperation” – the scheme for the cooperation is
decided during the first mentor-student session
● “student's feedback” – the scheme is given in advanced:
student participates in finding solution to a non-trivial issue →
student gives feedback to some process/issue → output in a
form of an analysis (with proposal and “recommendations”)
● after mentoring – form: personal interview (standardised
questionnaire, scales, closed/semi-open/open questions)
● during mentoring – continuous check-ups
→ mentors' and students' feedback
6. Evaluation
