Q&A MeCademy

Dec 29, 2020

Answer questions

to the MeCademy program
MeCademy registration

With the “MeCademy” ALG-related academics can find their way back to work in just 2 months. The measure is paid for by the Employment Agency!

The most common QUESTIONS and their ANSWERS about the MeCademy
WHO gets the MeCademy costs paid by the Employment Agency?

The Employment Agency pays the costs of the MeCademy to the following people because they are eligible people and can apply for and receive an activation and placement voucher (AVGS):

  • Unemployed people who receive ALG I or ALG II
  • Jobseekers at risk of unemployment

Specifically, this means that you must meet at least one of these criteria:

  • you receive ALG I (after a 6-week waiting period)*
  • you receive ALG II**
  • you have a 1 euro job
  • you are returning to work after parental leave
  • you are an earner
  • you are or want to become self-employed or start a business
  • you are not receiving any benefits or you have just completed school/vocational training
  • You have already received notice of termination from your employer
  • you have been released from work by your employer until the end of the notice period

* If you haven’t completed the 6-week wait yet, try to convince your supervisor that MeCademy is what will get you into work quickly. It is up to his/her discretion to issue the voucher to you early. If he/she declines, apply anyway for the next iteration of MeCademy. This also applies if you top up ALG I with ALG II. It is important that you are in the ALG I system.

** As a recipient of ALG II you have no legal claim to AVGS. But: the job center has a discretion to issue you a voucher. If you, as a job seeker, show initiative and request an AVGS, the chances of getting it are not bad.

In the event that your ALG entitlement expires shortly before the start of the MeCademy: The most important thing is: ASK & ARGUMENT and always be professional and polite. In this way you can achieve more with your supervisor than is permitted by law. If the supervisor cancels anyway: the next MeCademy round starts on March 29th. With ALG II and with the help of our 3 documents, you should have enough arguments to convince your supervisor of the importance of the program for you.

In the event that you are on parental leave: Please ask your supervisor whether you can already use a measure during your parental leave. The offer should also apply to women who want to return to work after parental leave.

WHO does NOT get MeCademy costs paid by the Employment Agency?

Unfortunately, you are not an AVGS-eligible person if you are not officially looking for a job and are unemployed, i.e. you are not registered with the employment agency. This is the case, for example, if you want to change your current position with your employer for personal reasons, for which you receive salary.

WHAT is an Activation & Placement Voucher (AVGS) and what does it promote?

The activation and placement voucher (AVGS) is a free funding guarantee from the employment agency or the job center. It serves to “improve the chances of integration into the labor market” (DS 17/6277 – DS 17/7065). The AVGS will therefore pay you for professional advice and/or coaching from a certified provider of measures (in technical jargon the advice is called a “measure”).

In our case, MentorMe is the approved provider of measures according to § 45 paragraph 4 SGB III. The MeCademy is the measure for professional training and coaching (MAT). The AVGS is therefore the voucher with which the employment agency covers the costs of your participation in the MeCademy.

What does the AVGS include? It consists of a funding commitment, a confirmation to be filled out by the person responsible for the measure and some information on possible restrictions based on the duration, scope and regionality of the measure.

The aim of every measure should be to support the unemployed and job seekers in reintegrating into the labor market.

If you are already completing a measure via the employment agency or the job center, please ask your supervisor whether you can take part in the MeCademy at the same time or at a time after your current measure.

 

WHAT distinguishes education vouchers from activation and placement vouchers (AVGS)?

An education voucher (BGS) is for measures for further vocational training.

An activation and placement voucher (AVGS) is used for job placement measures (MPAV), for internships or trial work (MAG) and for professional training and coaching (MAT) that MeCademy offers. The AVGS serves to “improve the chances of integration in the labor market” (DS 17/6277 – DS 17/7065).

WHAT are the steps to get the Activation & Placement Voucher (AVGS)?

Here are the steps to get your MeCademy participation funded with AVGS:

 

  1. Sign up for the MeCademy here .

 

  1. Apply for the AVGS in writing (via e-mail) to your supervisor at the employment agency or the job center. Use the information package that we will send you via email after registration (see step 1) or, if you have already registered, via email. Tip: Since there is no legal entitlement to an AVGS, be friendly and professional!

 

  1. Receive the AVGS from your supervisor after an internal check. The supervisor decides on the granting, time limit and regional restriction of the AVGS. You will also receive the leaflet “Notes on the AVGS” including all information. Note: Your supervisor cannot dictate which provider of measures you choose, as he/she is obliged to remain neutral.

 

  1. Redeem the AVGS with us via email within 3 months, because we are AZAV-certified as an educational institution. We redeem the AVGS at the Federal Employment Agency. You will not incur any costs.
HOW long is an activation and placement voucher (AVGS) valid?

The duration of the validity of the activation and placement voucher (AVGS) is not regulated by law, but can be determined by the supervisor of the employment agency or the job center be limited in time (often around three months) . This is to ensure that you get the missing knowledge acquire promptly . Because the ultimate goal of your supervisor is yours start work as soon as possible.

IS the Activation & Placement Voucher (AVGS) valid nationwide?

Basically yes! However, a regional restriction can be imposed by the supervisor at the employment agency or the job center. If you don’t live in Berlin, argue why we are the best provider for you: MentorMe has good and reliable contacts with employers all over Germany!

WHAT to do if the application for an activation & placement voucher (AVGS) is rejected?

You must take action in writing against a rejection (that is why you should also submit a written application beforehand) and give good reasons why you need the AVGS in order to be able to reintegrate into the labor market as quickly as possible.

WHEN does an activation and placement voucher (AVGS) lose its validity?

Your AVGS is no longer valid in these situations:

  • When taking up employment subject to social security contributions
  • When your entitlement to unemployment benefits expires
  • At the end of unemployment by taking up self-employment
  • When unemployment ends due to other factors such as maternity leave
WHERE are there alternative payers for MeCademy costs?

Alternative cost bearers are the pension insurance institutions, the Federal Volunteer Service, rescue companies, business transferors and you yourself. For the latter, we would be happy to make you an offer. write to us !

WHERE does the MeCademy program take place?

We rely – especially in these challenging times – on online advice: Both the program itself and the individual coaching take place online. If necessary, you can agree with your coach to have the coaching sessions take place in person.

WHEN will the next MeCademy program take place & HOW MUCH is it per week?

The MeCademy starts every two months. It is important that the AVGS is approved in advance or that an alternative payer is available. Our start dates for the 8-week courses in 2022 are:

  • Monday, January 10th
  • Monday, March 7th
  • Monday, May 2nd

You have to clarify this with your supervisor at the employment agency or the job center, but the probability is very high.

 

CAN I select my individual coach and change if necessary?

For your individual 8-week one-on-one coaching, we provide the coach based on the personal “fit” and the availability of our coaches. We consciously rely on only experienced coaches! If there are still personal differences here, we will assign you to another coach.

Do you have your own coach that you would like to use? Then your coach can contact us and we will be happy to include him/her in our pool.

WHAT is the MeCademy program and HOW time consuming is it?

The aim of the MeCademy as a measure is to support female unemployed and job-seeking graduates in reintegrating into the labor market. The 8-week program includes A) an online program and B) an individual one-on-one coaching.

I know about your matching process from a friend, i.e. how mentee and mentor come together. It is essentially really important whether it fits :). Do you do the same with the MeCademy? I already have coaching experience.

All coaches we work with meet clearly defined qualifications. These include well-founded coaching training and experience in exercising it, as well as a focus on the subject of professional orientation and reorientation. In addition, they all have extensive professional experience. The matching takes place after a preliminary discussion with the course participant, in which the initial situation is specified to fulfill the perfect matching.

Voices of our participants

During this challenging time that we are going through, I was very grateful to have found MeCademy on the recommendation of a friend. The cohesion in the strong women’s group motivated me to take new courage and continue looking for a job.

Rania, 32 years

I experience an incredibly positive culture and atmosphere in the moderated groups. The academy management gives me security, positive feedback and a nudge in direction every day. A constructive cooperation, well thought-out tasks, interactive formats, discussions after completing the tasks, preparation of an individual professional profile according to current standards. The whole thing filled with personal coaching.

Natalia, 37 years

Especially in times of Corona, MeCademy helped me to find myself again. Not only in terms of the application process, but above all to question “Where do I want to go” and “What do I want to achieve in the future”. The exchange with the network and my coach have encouraged me to realign my path! For me, Mecademy put together a perfect picture from many puzzle pieces: We defined MY personal purpose! Since then I’ve been going out confidently again and I know what my focus is.

Martina, 41 years old

I haven’t had this much energy and good mood in a long time – thank you for the great MeCademy program! For me, these group chats were super motivating. I’m really looking forward to the next few weeks with so many great inspiring women!

Voices of our participants

During this challenging time that we are going through, I was very grateful to have found MeCademy on the recommendation of a friend. The cohesion in the strong women’s group motivated me to take new courage and continue looking for a job.

Rania, 32 years

I experience an incredibly positive culture and atmosphere in the moderated groups. The academy management gives me security, positive feedback and a nudge in direction every day. A constructive cooperation, well thought-out tasks, interactive formats, discussions after completing the tasks, preparation of an individual professional profile according to current standards. The whole thing filled with personal coaching.

Natalia, 37 years

Especially in times of Corona, MeCademy helped me to find myself again. Not only in terms of the application process, but above all to question “Where do I want to go” and “What do I want to achieve in the future”. The exchange with the network and my coach have encouraged me to realign my path! For me, Mecademy put together a perfect picture from many puzzle pieces: We defined MY personal purpose! Since then I’ve been going out confidently again and I know what my focus is.

Martina, 41 years old

I haven’t had this much energy and good mood in a long time – thank you for the great MeCademy program! For me, these group chats were super motivating. I’m really looking forward to the next few weeks with so many great inspiring women!

Mentee quotes

Jun 12, 2019

Quotations from our mentees

Join as mentee

I met inspiring people, was able to get a taste of a wide range of professional fields and found out which directions are interesting for me because I was able to ask open questions at events and received honest answers. I was also able to strengthen my self-confidence and my appearance in a professional context.

Lucy Jo Fitz

Projekt- und Eventmanagerin

I became a MentorMe mentee because I come from a working-class family and didn’t have any useful contacts in the professional world. In addition, the MentorMe program was a very good opportunity to continue working on myself and to position myself better for my future jobs. I can recommend MentorMe and am a part of it for a second year myself.

Iuna Hoffmann

Partnership Managerin

Without MentorMe, my mentors and the community, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It helps me enormously to make my goals visible, to pursue them and to stay on track. For me, it means commitment, cohesion, belonging, strength, motivation, guidance and inspiration!

Maria Eckert

E-Learning Expertin

What I got from MentorMe in the three (!) years that I was a mentee: experienced top management mentors from companies like Apple and Weber Shandwick, support with questions about my first job, getting to know new areas, networking with other mentees and: contact with my current employer!

Dara Kossok skewer

Digitization Advisor

I was a mentee at MentorMe in the second year of the program and I liked the concept, the idea and the implementation so much that I now support young women myself as a mentor as they get from science to practice. And, I support mentees who are mothers in their questions about the compatibility of “child and career”. Because yes, it is possible!

Marie Huber

Project Manager Science

Even if I wasn’t able to come to all MentorMe events and training sessions, the mentoring and the large number and variety of networking events and training sessions convinced me. I can recommend this program to all women who lack good sparring partners and who want to benefit from great contacts with employers and experienced professionals!

Julian Drews

Economic Coordinator

MentorMe is an inspiring network that gave me a lot of strength and security to master professional challenges. The combination of mentoring, training and numerous networking events enabled me to look beyond the professional horizon and to substantiate my own career ideas.

Marisa Kittel

Europe consultant

MentorMe gave me the opportunity to develop myself professionally in a variety of ways and to get to know exciting employers and people. I appreciated the exchange in the network, with the experts and my mentor, who always give me new food for thought and ideas for my professional career and my path.

Florence Mühlenbein

project manager

MentorMe is an incredibly diverse program, very inspiring and open people, innovative offers and a lot of work in the implementation. Many thanks to Karin and her team for these opportunities! I can only advise every woman to become a part of it!

Stephanie Fester

strategy manager

From MentorMe I take with me a huge network of great, supportive people (mentors and mentees) and contacts in a wide variety of industries and areas, many new perspectives on work and job as well as valuable ideas for my personal professional future. I am glad that I decided to become a mentee at MentorMe.

 

Lucy Demers

Studentin

Through MentorMe I met people who showed me that my own path is the right one and that you can achieve anything if you work at it. Workshops have made me more confident, the networking events were excellently organized. My mentor Kate gave me food for thought and took away my fears.

Esther Maria Rohde

Student Assistant

The variety of the program from personal mentoring, training and networking events with exciting and successful people, the exchange with the wonderful MentorMe team and the other mentees who were in a similar situation enriched me in different ways. I also benefit as a mentee alumni!

Sarah van Bentum

Coordinator World Assembly

Mentoring has brought me a lot! I developed as a professional during the reorientation phase with my mentor. From the application process and cover letter to salary negotiations and practicing for job interviews. The contacts I made also had a positive impact on my job search.

Nastya Koro

User Experience Strategist

I’m happy to have become part of MentorMe because I’ve met a lot of great and inspiring people here. It is a network full of great people who help and support with their experience and expertise and give me the feeling that I don’t have to go my own way.

Martje Schreier

director

I received a lot of support in my further career planning and was happy to take any advice from my experienced mentor. In addition, as a supporter at six MentorMe events or training sessions, I benefited from the 35% discount on the mentee fee and was therefore able to pay less.

Caya Prill

Studentin

I got both an internship and my future job through the MentorMe network. Both of my mentors were great women: first a managing director and then a coach, both of whom have accompanied me essentially in my professional questions and have always been at my side with advice and expertise.

Nadine Schultz

community manager

I was given a really great mentor! He is a co-founder of a company in a similar field to mine and was therefore able to accompany, motivate, encourage and advise me perfectly as a coach on my own path to self-employment and entrepreneurship. Now I myself lead the group of female doctoral students at MentorMe!

Dr. Anna-Maria Beck

Coach

Mentor quotes

Oct 10, 2017

Quotes from our mentors

I am a mentor out of conviction. On the one hand, because I like to pass on my personal and professional experiences. After all, I was able to learn from tips from experienced managers myself at the beginning of my career. On the other hand, I also find the content of the MentorMe program very inspiring for us mentors.

Heike Grassmann

Director Science

I can share my insight into the work of non-profit organizations/foundations and in particular the aspect of working with international partners and sponsors. My support and advice for project groups in 14 countries enables me to pass on topics such as organizational structure, team support, communication and fundraising as well as contacts in Europe to my mentee.

Kerstin Eckert

Project Manager Foundation

My goal is to get the mentees enthusiastic about areas that are “male-dominated”. I am very happy to be part of MentorMe. The communication is great and the events also help us all, including me as an expert at Coca-Cola. I’m happy to be back Events included: During the job interview training, I can give qualified feedback, which can improve the mentees in the job interview.

Marcus Radeck

Human Resource Manager

I have been involved with MentorMe for 3 years and have been able to accompany 3 great women on their professional path. After each mentoring, I am happy if I was able to give something, be it advice or a recommendation, a contact or an idea on how to approach a topic differently. There is something fulfilling about being a mentor! I can advise everyone to pass on their knowledge to younger people.

Christina Richter

Personal Branding & PR Consultant

When I was younger, I benefited immensely from a mentor myself, and today it is important to me to support young humanities and social scientists in their professional life, to promote them and to show them the many professional opportunities that we have. I would like to pass on the knowledge from my experience at companies such as Pro7 to the public sector today.

Alexandra Pohl

Public service contact

Initially, I liked the idea of supporting young women who are just taking their first steps in the world of work. Then I also see how helpful and inspiring the network is, where women support each other. And I can learn a lot from the young women myself, about the world of work, current issues, commitment – that’s very enriching for me.

Claudia Schmidtke

market researcher

Claudia Schmidtke

I am a passionate mentor and I want to pass on my wealth of professional experience and my industry insights to young female talents, to support them when they start their careers or to advance as the young manager of tomorrow, and also my network at Coca-Cola to be made available in addition.

Catherine Magerl

Senior Procurement Manager

Why am I a mentor? Because I want to expand my own horizon and perspective. And of course, because I want to show my mentees professional support and options for action and I am happy to pass on my own professional experience in science and at the Helmholz Society.

Christine Liedtke

science communicator

I find the exchange and transfer of knowledge between women on a professional and personal level extremely important. Regardless of the image of women, there is a great need for an exchange of experiences. I think it’s great that MentorMe exists, a company that actively offers a platform and network for this.

Katja Schult

Head of Finance Startup

I am happy to share my experiences from my international career from project manager to head of Asia Pacific Professional Services with stations in Cologne, Jena, London, Frankfurt, Beijing, Hong Kong and now Berlin. After that I founded my own strategy consultancy and founded the first Waldorf school in Hong Kong on a voluntary basis.

Jochen Kleef

Managing Partners

As a mentor, I advise in the area of strategic career planning (especially) in male-dominated industries. I myself have been a manager in the real estate industry for many years. In addition, I have 15 years of coaching experience, experienced, accepted and mastered many personal changes. Achieving this is my task and role as the mentor of my mentees. And I really enjoy that!

Pia Maria Goossens

Change Manager, Digitalization & Coach

I am a mentor because I really enjoy accompanying young people and especially women in the development of their careers in order to find out together with them what “really” suits them, what their passion is and what their hearts beat for. In addition, I can pass on a lot about the higher education sector if my mentee wants to go there: experiences, insights and how-to-dos …

Claudia Mueller

university manager

Alessa Munch

Manager People Advisory

The exchange with my mentee is a great enrichment at all levels. I learn a lot of new things in my consulting work and she learns everything about the foundation sector. I am happy to be part of your inspiring mentoring program for the second time – really great, keep it up! And, of course, I’m happy that I can also give something back to MentorMe by leading the MentorMe Hamburg group.

dr Anne Punke-Dresen

Board of Trustees

As a mentor, I can pass on my experience and expertise as a managing director, lawyer, networker and coach to female junior staff and high potentials – thanks to MentorMe I can do this in an uncomplicated and yet professional, structured and sustainable way. I really enjoy the mentoring and the MentorMe network with lots of great people.

dr Geertje Tuschka

Lawyer & Entrepreneur & Coach

On the one hand, I am a mentor because I like to pass on my wealth of experience on the topics of “work/family balance” and “as a humanities graduate, how do I find the right professional environment”. On the other hand, the mentoring also helps me to become more aware of my own experiences, qualifications and strengths and to recognize them.

Marie Huber

scientist

MentorMe is a great opportunity to support young women on their carrer path and sometimes on a personal level, too as well as it offers an opportunity for self-reflection on my own career path. My mentees and I have a good level of trust with each other and through my contacts I already helped mentees to land a job … Thanks MentorMe for your hard work!

Clare Waldman

Program Manager Environment

I am a mentor because I wished for a mentor myself when I started my job and I got this wish granted by chance. I want to pass on this energy – this time in a very planned way – as a mentor, as an experienced coach, and as a listening, understanding and honest sparring partner!

Sandra Kaul

Coach & Entrepreneur

I’ve been a mentor since the 1st MentorMe lesson to support women in their career path. I also hope to see more women in management positions. A strong network is essential for this and I, as someone who is involved in local politics, would like to make my contribution.

Anya Gerecke

Health Advisor & Local Politician

Trusted person, coach, source of ideas, supporter, door opener and mirror – in my view, a good mentor should be all of this for his mentee and I would like to offer my mentee no less. Especially as HR manager, I can also support my mentee through my network and my professional knowledge when starting her career.

Ayse Semiz-Ewald

Project Manager Human Resources

MentorMe is a very valuable and beautiful win-win experience for both sides, which I have seldom experienced as easily as with MentorMe. It requires a lot of initiative from both sides and becomes a really well-rounded thing with MentorMe thanks to a lively network and a nice “supporting program”! As a diplomat, I can also report on how you can gain a foothold in the foreign service and position yourself as a woman – and mother.

Isabella Neisinger

diplomat

Ich freue mich, Mentor bei MentorMe zu sein! Was ich meinen Mentees bieten kann: Wissenstransfer aus meiner Karriere in einem IT-Konzern und als Business-Manager; Vertriebserfahrung; Beratung zur Karriereplanung und zu Konfliktmanagement und Kommunikation; Zielplanung und Zielerfüllung. Und, natürlich: der Mentee zuhören und auf ihre beruflichen Sorgen, Fragen und Wünsche eingehen.

dr Jens Hundling

Coach & trainer, management consultant

I would like to share my knowledge about Money Mindset, especially for prospective founders, self-employed people and sales people, because I have always wanted a mentor myself and could never enjoy it in such a formal but also supportive and enriching situation as at MentorMe. Thank you very much for your commitment and your work, dear MentorMe team!

Julia Lakaemper

Money Mindset Coach

The transfer of knowledge in mentoring is not a one-way street – I too have learned a lot so far and gained new perspectives. The cooperation between my mentee and I is very good and constructive and I can give her valuable tips from a HR perspective on how to position herself in the job, how to negotiate and how to achieve her goals! This was certainly also due to MentorMe’s good matching.

Jessica Lingenfelder

Human Resource Manager

As a mentor, I can pass on my experiences and give women what I would have wished for when I started my job and in the first few years on the job: a critical eye, a helping hand, far-reaching tips on how to “proceed” in a field or in an industry. and a happy laugh! That’s what makes me a mentor!

Britta Piel

Head of the International Office at the University

I like to give pass on my knowledge and experience in entrepreneurship, social startup, community building, sponsoring, strategy development, tax implications, marketing, etc. to the next generation of female founders. I know what incredible added value that can be for a mentee.

Karin Heinzl

entrepreneur

I am a freelance coach and love to accompany others on their way. My job as a coach & mentor at MentorMe is therefore that other women find the professional path that is already dormant in them, but which they do not yet see or do not know how to go into. This role is very fulfilling for me!

Jonah Armborst

Community Manager & Coach

Why am I a mentor at MentorMe? MentorMe opens perspectives and opportunities for both mentees and mentors. As a mentor, I am inspired and it makes me happy to be able to pass on my knowledge as a successful social entrepreneur in the form of mentoring advice.

Natalya Nepomnyashcha

Founder & Social Entrepreneur

With MentorMe I can motivate young women to realize their professional dreams and to dare to take bold paths and to stand up for unusual decisions and “follow them”. It is incredibly great to follow and promote this personal development.
