The mentors are generally experienced people, who pledge their colleagues their support, help them make decisions and accompany them on their way for a while. Deutsche Bank offers about different 40 mentoring programs worldwide. Here is a selection of some programs:

• Next Steps Mentoring (UK): Deutsche Bank employees are matched with ethnic minority undergraduates from selected British universities.
• Mentoring for Women: Offers high potential women the opportunity to advance to higher skilled and management positions.

The co-operation between mentee and mentor in tandem enables an open exchange of experience which extends beyond generations and hierarchies, while at the same time creating new perspectives for employee development. The mentors have many years of management experience in the company as well as interesting contacts both within and outside Deutsche Bank.
 
Each mentoring program begins with a kick-off meeting for all mentees and mentors and concludes with a closing meeting. The programs range between 12 and 18 months in duration.
