We have different programmes for you!
Are you a veterinary student passionate about making the profession more inclusive and accessible? A veterinarian who wants to give back to the profession? Or a veterinarian eager to inspire the next generation?
The Vetjoy Career Mentorship programme is designed to provide tailored support to early-career veterinarians by more experienced veterinarians.
Eligibility
The mentors must be veterinarian with at least 3 years of experience in their chosen field. The career mentorship programme is open to any veterinarian regardless of the field that they are working in (official vets, public health, practitioners, research and education, industry).
The mentors must be able to dedicate around 1-2 hours per month for 12 months.

What we offer
In the context of our Career Mentorship programme, we provide a one-year mentor educational programme to our mentors. This programme includes several online modules with video and text contents as well as group sessions with a coach in a regular basis.
Online modules (Content)
Managing Perfectionism and Imposter Syndrome
Understanding Compassion Fatigue
Mentoring Skills and Feedback
Everyday wellbeing and selfcare
Effective Communication and Listening as a Mentor
Conflict Management
Additional resources are also available here.
To ensure our mentees are effectively supported by skillful mentors, we’re launching dedicated mentor coaching in September 2025 to help mentors grow in their role. It’s currently offered in English, French and German.
The programme is complete for its pilot run, so applications for the coaching are closed, but you can still join as a mentor below!
Common questions
Mentees and mentors will be matched based on geographical and linguistic indicators. The type of career (practitioner, officer, public health, research, industry or education) can also be considered. Mentees choose from suggestions of the available mentors in the region/language.
The mentoring programme is entirely on a voluntary basis. However, you’ll get a wonderful experience, giving valuable insights into the veterinary profession!
You can also receive a coaching formation or use our toolbox to increase your guidance skills.
