HUFLIT Mentoring: A Bridge Between Generations – Where Alumni and Students Build the Future Together

A connected ecosystem: when those who went before return to guide the next generation

Looking back on the nine-month journey of HUFLIT Mentoring Season 1 with the theme “From Seed to Shine”, the programme’s greatest success lies not only in its impressive numbers (469 mentoring sessions, 56 Mentor – Mentee pairs), but in the formation of a closely bonded community.

Within that ecosystem, many alumni – people who have achieved and continue to achieve success in the labour market – decided to return to their alma mater as Mentors. They bring with them hard-won practical lessons, sharp thinking and even their own setbacks to pass on to the next generation of students.

As the programme’s core philosophy holds: a Mentor does not walk the Mentee’s path for them, but acts as a “lighthouse” that accompanies, listens and unlocks inner potential. This cross-generational connection gives students not only practical knowledge but also a recognition of their own worth, so they can stand confidently at career crossroads. For alumni, it is a wonderful opportunity to contribute value to the community, strengthen their leadership capacity and expand their professional network.

Mentee Orientation Season 2: the first step of a new journey

Building on those lasting values, HUFLIT Mentoring officially returns for Season 2, promising a breakthrough nine-month journey (from September 2026 to May 2027).

Every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. To help students overcome their hesitation and better understand how this network operates, the Organising Committee is officially launching the Mentee Orientation Season 2 event.

In just two hours of orientation, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Gain a full understanding of the roadmap and workings of the HUFLIT Mentoring ecosystem.
• Meet the Organising Committee, the Core Team, and Mentors and Mentees from Season 1 in person to get the most authentic sense of the transformative value the programme delivers.
• Hear valuable lessons learned, have all questions answered, and be fully prepared before submitting an application.
