Core Offerings

Check out what’s available for you as a Tomorrow University Learner

🧭 The Mentoring Tomorrow Hub

The Mentoring Hub connects you with experienced professionals from within and beyond the ToU Community.

Mentors may support you with:

• Career direction
• Strategic thinking
• Professional positioning
• Industry insight
• Confidence building

How It Works

• Submit your mentoring interest
• Share your focus and goals
• Get matched based on alignment
• Engage in structured, time-bound conversations

Mentoring is designed to challenge and support your growth, not provide job placement.

📄 CV & LinkedIn Surgery

This is a peer-led, feedback-based offering where you can receive practical, personalised input on:

• CV clarity and positioning
• LinkedIn narrative and impact
• Alignment between mission and professional story

We recommend using this support before:

🌟 Visibility Program

The Visibility Program helps you find your voice, sharpen your message and build a confident, authentic presence on LinkedIn. Over nine weeks, you’ll develop your personal brand, clarify your positioning and create a sustainable content rhythm that supports your mission and career goals. This is not about “posting more”, it’s about owning your story, communicating your impact clearly and growing alongside a small, committed peer group.

What you’ll gain:

• Clear positioning rooted in your unique perspective
• A LinkedIn profile that feels authentic and aligned
• Confidence in creating and sharing meaningful content
• A supportive community of peers building visibility together

🎯 Quarterly Mission Reconnection Sessions

Led by Dr Thomas Funke, these live sessions help you:

• Revisit your original intention
• Reflect on growth
• Realign with your mission
• Reset focus for the next phase

These are especially valuable:

• At the beginning of a new study phase
• When feeling unclear about direction

🗓️Monthly Next Chapter Collective

Led by learners for learners, this is a monthly gathering for exploring what’s next in a safe space, alongside your peers.

🎤 Career-Integrated Events & Careers Fair

Each Community Pathway also includes career relevant programming.

This includes:

• Skill-building workshops
• The ToU Careers Fair (hosted at our in person Immersion in Berlin in June 2026)

Finding the best support for you

You don’t need to do everything at once. We recommend thinking about Careers & Mission Support in three flexible stages, depending on where you are right now.

🔍 Stage 1: Explore

Clarify your direction and reconnect with your mission. This stage is about sense-making, not decision-making.

Best if you’re:

• Feeling unsure about your next step
• Starting a new phase of study
• Reconnecting after a break or transition

Recommended support:🎯 Mission Reconnection Sessions

Expected outcomes: Greater clarity, re-grounded sense of purpose and confidence in where to focus next.

🛠️ Stage 2: Develop

Build confidence, capability and perspective. This stage is about growth and preparation.

Best if you’re:

• Exploring options but need guidance
• Developing leadership or professional confidence
• Wanting challenge and perspective

Recommended support: 🧭 Mentoring Tomorrow Hub

Expected outcomes: Sharper thinking, expanded perspectives & stronger professional confidence.

🚀 Stage 3: Activate

Position yourself and access opportunities. This stage is about visibility and action.

Best if you’re:

• Applying for roles, projects or fellowships
• Positioning yourself for opportunities
• Actively exploring career transitions

Recommended support: 📄 CV & LinkedIn Surgery / 🌟 Visibility Program

Expected outcomes: Clear, compelling professional positioning, increased confidence in applications and conversations and access to relevant networks and opportunities.
