Mentoring program for Ukrainians abroad Mentorship for Ukrainians (M4U)

We are inviting Ukrainians whо’ve been forced to flee abroad to receive mentoring support in Europe and other countries. Currently, more than 6 million citizens had to flee Ukraine, and more than 2 million refugees from Ukraine registered for Temporary Protection or similar national protection schemes in Europe.*

They face acute issues of employment, restoration of social contacts and networking, as well as the problem of social integration in the life of the hosting country due to certain cultural and other characteristics.

To help Ukrainians, CSR Ukraine and Career Hub with the support of SAP are launching a Mentorship for Ukrainians (M4U) program for Ukrainians abroad who have left their home because of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

Mentors of the Program are the locals, who have been living in the country for a long time. They work in different companies, so they will be able to talk about employment opportunities, help with the networking and provide sound advice on social and cultural integration. Although the Organizers plan at least three meetings of a mentor and a mentee, sometimes mentorship can grow into a lifelong friendship.

Mentoring will take place in the format of online or offline meetings during May-June 2022. The following issues will be discussed during the mentoring:

  • Employment opportunities (providing information about vacancies, training, etc.)

–        Professional networking (involvement of Ukrainians in communities and business associations, expanding connections)

–        Integration (living in a foreign country, everyday issues, social integration)

Important: the program does not include financial aid for mentees.

We are inviting Ukrainians who are currently staying abroad – in Germany, Poland, Hungary, France, Latvia and other countries –  to join this Program, choose a mentor and become a mentee. 

Requirements for the mentee:

– anyone over the age of 18 who was forced to leave Ukraine after February 24, 2022

– wants to find a mentor in a country of current residence

– speaks English or the language of the host country at a sufficient level to communicate.

Deadline for submitting  – 10.06. 22 via link https://mentorplace.in.ua/en/program/mentorship-for-ukrainians/ 

After applying, participants will receive an email with further instructions.
