Mentorship Program

Lindholmen Mentorship Program has been running for six consecutive years. New for this year is a closer collaboration between Lindholmen Science Park, the IT University, Chalmers, University of Gothenburg and the Göta Student Union. Previous years we have only offered companies at Lindholmen to be a part of the Mentorship Program, but this year we will offer companies located in the whole Gothenburg area, the opportunities to be part of the program 2012.

International companies
Last year about 50 students and an equal number of mentors were involved in this one-year program, where the goal is to create a better interaction between industry and universities. The mentors came from companies like IBM, Dassault Systémes , Ericsson, Volvo Group and Volvo Cars and students in their second year at the IT University.

Lindholmen Mentorship Program We start at the end of February 2012. Criteria for acceptance As a student you need to belong to one of the educational programmes at the IT University and have started the second year or higher. Due to limited amount of mentors you need to write down a motivation why you will be part of the program and what type of mentor you would like to get.
