Meet a mentor: Louise Liberty Dohrmann
Louise Liberty Dohrmann graduated from SDU Esbjerg in 2015. With a masters degree in Sports & Event Management Louise has worked in various different positions, and since 2020 she has been with Esbjerg Kommune as a HR & Digitalization Consultant.
In 2021 she also took a new role upon herself – to be a mentor in the Student In Business Mentoring Programme.
A role from which she draws upon her journey towards her current position.
“As a student I needed knowledge of the working life and its opportunities – and how to access it. To be able to help students find their way from student life to working life hands me the opportunity to give something back and help students in a position, where I used to be.”
Ákos, who is the mentee of Louise and a student at EASV Esbjerg, confirms that Louise indeed does give something back and that their educational differences do not stand in the way of Louise’s ability to guide him:
“Even though my mentor and I work in different fields the mentoring programme is a rewarding experience.
Louise has given me tips towards looking for an internship and to boost my CV. She also helps me towards getting to know more about Danish culture, the ‘working culture’ here as well as the labor market in Denmark. All of which are fields that I sought guidance in before entering the programme.”
“It is truly a unique experience to connect with a student in this way and share insights and motivations. I can recommend the role as a mentor to everyone, who has an interest in the student life of Esbjerg.”

The opportunity to be in touch with students is a part of the programme that Louise values a lot.
Not only in a professional way, but Louise also gains from the programme on a personal level:
“The mentor role develops me in many ways. I grow as a person, and have become better at communicating and focusing on the person behind the job (and job applications).
At the same time, I have also gained more insight into the student life in Esbjerg, and that makes it easier for me to create more room for student jobs, projects and internships.”
To finish off Louise has some final words for anyone considering whether or not the mentoring role is something for them:
“It is truly a unique experience to connect with a student in this way and share insights and motivations.
I can recommend the role as a mentor to everyone, who has an interest in the student life of Esbjerg.”

Public Affairs: Et usynligt arbejde, der skaber synlige resultater
Public affairs lyder mest af alt som titlen på en actionfilm fra 90’erne. Men realiteten er en anden, og navnet refererer oftest til aktiviteter og strategier, der involverer en organisation eller enkeltperson i at opbygge og vedligeholde relationer med offentlige myndigheder, politikere, beslutningstagere og andre interessenter inden for den offentlige sektor.
