Business Administration graduate Yannick Zwiep on Meet your Mentor: 'I took part because I didn't feel ready for a professional career. This was mostly due to my insecurities about my skills and what I could offer a company. I was constantly doubting my own capacities.'

During the conversations I had with my mentor, I discovered I was downplaying my own skills. The programme helped me to know myself better and to explore my strengths. This allowed me to better position myself in a professional field.

Meet your Mentor helped me become the confident person I am today. Through Meet your Mentor, I spent three months actively discovering and developing myself. It made me more aware of where my interests lie and how I'd like develop them further. For example, the insights that the programme gave me, in combination with the support of my mentor, helped me start an application process with purpose and confidence, which led to a new job.
