See familiar faces for 24 hours,
Meeting people and exchanging experiences!
And so it was: a huge, joyful and excited party with 150 participants who completely filled the Orff Institute. It was touching! Upon entering the old familiar institute, every single person had a smile on their face, some even paused for a moment before entering the "past". Sticking together, talking together, sharing together, eating together, all this was taken for granted and did not need to be "introduced". So the buffet was overflowing with delicacies contributed by the individuals.
After a brilliant welcome by Anna-Maria Kalcher, Iris Wagner, Doris Valtiner-Pühringer and Mirjam Leitner and joyful singing together under the direction of Anna Töller, the crowd was slow to move outside for photos - there was simply too much to tell, it had been too long since they had met! Afterwards - truly with the greatest enthusiasm - the visitors participated in circle dances in familiar surroundings under the direction of Andrea Ostertag. The celebrations continued late into the evening, with the band "Katz im Sack" (Cat in the Bag) greatly contributing to the party mood and general festivities!
Many came back the next morning. New faces joined in to start the day building instruments with Mirjam Leitner, then listened to an extremely exciting impulse lecture by Anna Maria Kalcher, and in the afternoon eagerly exchanged ideas and practical materials.
From start to finish, it was clear to everyone that this alumni meeting was long overdue and must definitely be repeated!

Careers and life paths are diverse, and alumnae & alumni share their experiences, personal stories and provide insights into their resumes.
Mentees are students in the final phase of their studies. Graduates of the Mozarteum University with several years of professional experience act as mentors. The first step is to apply as a mentee or mentor by sending an e-mail to alumni@moz.ac.at . As soon as suitable mentoring tandems are found, we contact both partners. After consideration from both sides, the two partners decide whether they want to embark upon the programme together. This is followed by an initial mentoring meeting, at which the tandem partners meet in person and draw up an agreement detailing the goals, scope, conditions, limits, and deadlines of the future collaboration.
Mentors are contact persons and make their knowledge and experience available. Should it become apparent that a mentoring relationship is not achieving its goals, it can be dissolved by either of the parties at any time. In this case, please let us know. There are no specifications regarding the duration of a mentoring programme. However, four to eight months are recommended and one to two personal meetings per month are advantageous. Mentors and their mentees agree on the specific schedule and the time and place of their meetings. At the end of an agreed mentoring relationship, both reflect on the outcome in terms of results and goals achieved. A closing event takes place and we welcome feedback!
Possible topics of collaboration are: Ideas and plans for career entry, insights into concrete job profiles, career goals, opportunities in the job market, self-organisation, marketing, stays abroad, self-presentation, possible additional qualifications, work-life balance, salary perspectives, etc.
It is important to be aware that mentors do not take on the role of "job brokers," therapeutic life coaches or professional personality trainers. Nor do they offer ready-made solutions. Mentors help through their experience, they motivate and support.
Help: If questions, difficult situations, the desire for change, etc. arise during the mentoring programme, we at the Mozarteum University are happy to provide the best possible support for mentees and mentors.
Would you like to benefit from the knowledge and experience of other graduates during the career orientation phase or at the start of your own career? Do you want to get to know people with experience in the industry who can make the start of your professional life easier and provide you with valuable information? Then the mentoring programme of the Mozarteum University is just right for you! We are looking forward to receiving applications!
Participate as a mentee - Requirements:
What the mentoring programme does not do:
Mentors do not replace professors and teachers. It is not the mentors' job to help students with their degrees. There will be no therapeutic "life coaching." Mentors cannot replace advanced training in the areas of application training, employment and tax law, camera training, self-marketing, dealing with social media and homepage, etc. Mentors are not professional personality trainers.

We will try to find a suitable mentor for interested students based on their personal data, study data and personal preferences, wishes and expectations. Please make your application as concrete and detailed as possible.
As soon as a suitable mentor has been found, we invite applicants to an initial interview. After consideration from both sides, the two partners decide whether they want to embark upon the programme together. This is followed by a kick-off event, at which the tandem partners meet in person and draw up an agreement detailing the goals, scope, conditions, limits, and deadlines of the future collaboration. If it turns out that a mentoring relationship is not conducive to achieving its goals, it can be dissolved by either side at any time. In this case, please let us know.
There are no guidelines regarding the duration of a mentoring programme. However, four to eight months are recommended and one to two personal meetings per month are beneficial.
