What is MultiPOD
MultiPOD Mentoring is a successful, free-of-charge, long-distance professional and personal development program in which senior international mentors share their knowledge and experience via Zoom, meet or other video conferencing method with talented students and young professionals (mentees) representing more than 90 countries in five continents.
MultiPOD mentoring was created in 2016 to enhance the mentees’ capacities to uncover their own potential; to think creatively; to build upon their previous achievements; to be prepared to work internationally; to increase their effectiveness, and to contribute successfully to improving worldwide health and development in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.
