About PROMENT project
The project aims to foster students’ employability by developing their relevant professional competencies and civic engagement through the comprehensive tutoring and mentoring (T&M) system at partner HEIs as a response to the labour market demands.
The university T&M system will function on the basis of an integrated set of methods, algorithms, and procedures enriched with the dedicated IT-platform, university organisational structures, trained staff and active senior students. In complex, it will become an element of the sustainable educational process that will develop and improve students’ hard and soft skills, as well as active engagement in civic life.
The project activities are focused on developing basic tutoring and mentoring schemes, installing T&M centres, developing teaching/learning materials and tools, training academic staff, students and mentors from industry, as well as cooperating between targeted HEIs through the internationalisation of partners’ expertise, and strengthen their relations with the wider socio‐economic environment.
