The mentoring project with the Democratic Education Network (DEN) has encountered difficulties that began following the sudden emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. We have had to maintain student engagement online during an uncertain time.
Given the different circumstances, we had to develop a new strategy, based on learning what employers expect today from our students and how higher education can meet their needs. This was particularly important for those students entering the job market. Because of this, at DEN we decided to implement a new way of working with, supporting, and mentoring our students to suit the current conditions.
