The ROCK YOUR LIFE! (RYL!) mentoring program has been helping young people in Switzerland make a successful start in their careers and integrate socially since 2013. Its focus is on young people with insufficient family support, a difficult socio-economic background and/or who are refugees.
In one-to-one mentoring, young adults mentor young people by helping them with their professional orientation. Mentors provide individual support and promote young people’s self-efficacy and social skills through regular one-on-one meetings.
The mentoring is supported by four training blocks, application workshops and other offers.
