The Career Centre is also the university’s point of contact with Alumni e.V. the Alumni Mentoring Programme. This is a joint initiative of the Alumni Association and the Career Centre. Past students mentor present students, answer questions, and support them in building up their network. The Career Centre sets up tandem arrangements between alumni and students, and regularly organises events or joint initiatives, including outdoor team training, a caving expedition and the Alumni Day. The aim of all joint activities (whether they take place on campus in Iserlohn, Berlin, or Hamburg, or are an off-campus, after-work event) is to support and expand the network between alumni and students.
Career Centre
The Career Centre of University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) serves as an interface between the university and commercial enterprises. There are two elements to its service:
1. JobTeaser is the new career portal for students. The Career Centre guides students along their path from enrolment to employment, and supports them with their internship and career plans.
2. The Career Centre comes up with and implements initiatives with the aim of generating interest among commercial enterprises in the university and its students, and provides individual services to strengthen contacts with HR decision-makers. The Career Centre offers different channels of communication between enterprises, students, and alumni.

These first contacts often lead to internships or initial employment opportunities.
