At the same time, there's an endeavour to support more and more prodekoians to succeed and each their full potential.
Career-oriented prodekoians are in the main focus of this program. We gather prodekoians with a will to succeed in the main turning points of their career (for example changing position or gaining more responsibilities) up until their first time starting to work in an executive commitee or company board.
Our wide-ranged pool of mentors is consisted of executive committee and board professionals in leading companies of Finland, alumni with significant succes in the field of startups and Finlands leading professionals of different talent areas. As a typical attribute of Prodeko, alumni know-how isn't focus only to a narrow sector but to following areas, for example:
Prodeko Ventures takes responsibility both for validitating mentees and for finding a suitable mentor-mentee-match. Year lasting mentoring program consists of first meeting and as a baseline once a month organised 1on1-meetings and free-form communication between a mentor and a mentee. The program is primarly made for companies which want to offeir best possibilities to grow their new role and to success with their future challenges to their most promising future stars.
The price of mentoring consists of two part. Prodeko Ventures takes 40% of the total price but at least 800€ or 80€ per meeting as a starting price to confirm the mentor-mentee-match by organising the first meeting. In addition, a mentor defines one's price based on one's experience background and ability to commit to mentoring. Pricing guarantees mentoring which is in every situation committed and goal-oriented and the match is the most suitable option and both parties put effort to program from its start to end.
