Become a mentee

Ideal applicants for the programme are women who are seen as ‘potential leaders’ in their current business or organisation or women who have been out of the workforce due to a focus on family and have not been able to get back to the career path. We would expect the applicants to have been in management roles for a minimum of 3+ years.

Mentees should be prepared to meet with their mentor once a month for around 2 hours, and to attend a minimum of three joint sessions and a number of workshops or other meetings throughout the year.

Mentees should be independently minded, flexible and keen to develop and expand their skills and competencies in order to achieve their leadership and career goals.

Applicants must be able to communicate fluently in English. Shortlisted candidates can be contacted via a phone call for a short interview.

 

 

Become a mentor

We are looking for both women and men who have relevant leadership experience (either business or civic) while being willing to act as a mentor via supporting and encouraging their mentees to achieve their career goals and desires.

As a mentor, you must be prepared to meet with your mentee once a month for around 2 hours, to attend approximately three joint sessions and number of workshops or other meetings throughout the year.

Mentors should be able to demonstrate that they possess the experience necessary for acting as an effective business mentor. Priority will be given to people who have either served as a member of a board of directors or those with a strong entrepreneurial background. Previous mentoring experience is also an advantage, nevertheless, it is certainly not a requirement. On the other hand, passion, commitment and willingness to help your mentee are mandatory.
