Simona Corda moved to Denmark from Rumania in 2000. She took part as a Mentee in the first NytNetværk Sønderborg programme (2005 - 2006) and has since been part of the Project Management. ”I can say with confidence that I learned a lot about the Danish work culture and mentality through my participation as a Mentee in NytNetværk Sønderborg. Simona continues; “My Mentor has become a friend for life and we have always found time to meet to discuss how I have been progressing in my job.” After having completed the NytNetværk Sønderborg programme, Simona got a job at EUC Syd and has since moved to a position as Head of Department. ”It has been pivotal for me to have met my Mentor, who could ask me all the right questions, so I could get my priorities right. My Mentor has contributed towards my self development, enabling me to focus on my career goals. As an added bonus, she was a great asset in guiding me to make use of the network I was exposed to through NytNetværk Sønderborg. I embraced an opportunity and got so much more out of taking part in NytNetværk Sønderborg than I had ever imagined it would bring me.” Simona concludes; “Having completed the six-month programme, you are equipped with tools to meet future challenges.” You may contact Simona by e-mail or through her cell phone +45 51 31 47 78.		Ole Malmgren, Project Leader of the present NytNetværk Sønderborg programe (2009 - 2010), took part as a Mentor on the 3rd programme and joined thereafter the Project Management. ”I had great satisfaction in helping my Mentee to navigate her way through the Danish system. The joy and appreciation I have been met with, motivates me and encourages me to make a high priority of this project in my leisure time”, says Ole. “At Project Management level, it is so rewarding that anyone we approach – e.g. politicians, businesses, religious groups, libraries and other charity organisations, all back our project. This reaffirms that there is a need for a project like NytNetværk Sønderborg – and that there are many people who happily would like to contribute towards “new” Danes getting a fair chance in our country”.
