Mentee
In the MyMentor project, Mentors, who are established professionals and often Alumni of the Università Cattolica, are paired with Mentees, students enrolled in a Master's Degree program who seek professional guidance based on specific areas of interest they have indicated. The matching occurs following a selection process, and the program lasts approximately 6 months.

The Mentor is a highly experienced professional who shares knowledge with a young person about to enter the workforce, helping them grow and providing advice in times of doubt and decision-making.
In MyMentor, the Mentor's role is to support and guide the student, acting as both an advisor and a guide, while also having the opportunity to gain insights and inspiration from their Mentee through a process of reverse mentoring, where both parties exchange valuable perspectives and knowledge.

Here are some excerpts as a testament to the excellent relationship that can
develop between a Mentee and their Mentor.
for Mentees on how to best establish a relationship with their Mentors.
Based on the experience we've gained over the years, we realize that there is no definitive guideline for setting up the Mentor-Mentee relationship. However, the suggestions we provide below for our students can serve as a starting point for building a fruitful collaboration.
Try to create a relationship that is not only professional; in this sense, your Mentor can be a source of inspiration and could even become a life coach.
Collaborate in a spontaneous, open, and unprejudiced way. During this semester, you will be guided by someone willing to listen and help without giving you a grade!
Even small tips or seemingly "obvious" things can be helpful: don't be afraid to ask for advice, even if it seems trivial.
If you haven't received a response from your Mentor after a few days sending an email, try again--don't be shy! Just like in the workplace, it's better to ask than to wait for a reply.
