BEEN THERE, DONE THAT

So much heart in here.

“Thanks to the Beluga mentoring program, I am even considering offering a mentoring service. It was a great opportunity, and I am glad I took part in it.”

TIZIANA BOTTONE

IT Mentor

“It helped me to realize that while I am not an oral person, I love writing, and we can teach something to someone even by writing. It also helped me network more, especially, TO LEARN.”

GABRIELA KOUAHLA

FR Mentor

“I loved receiving detailed feedback and discussing anything that came to my mind with my mentor. Having her as a mentor and being able to learn from the masterclasses was a privilege. I especially liked how much it felt like real work, and I think it’s very good training for those who are starting.”
