As a mentor, you can benefit from providing experience-based advice, regardless of whether your organisation has a mentoring scheme or not. We believe our six-month mentoring programme will match you with a mentee who could benefit from your skills and experience in their career journey. It can also help you develop your leadership approach, clarify your own career goals, and give you the chance to shape the leaders of the future.
Being a mentor at WIBF also means joining a supportive community of mentors, where you can share insights and best practices with others who are just as passionate about fostering talent. You’ll be contributing to a network that champions diversity, equity and inclusion, and you’ll see the impact of your guidance firsthand as your mentee grows in confidence and capability.
Please note, a digital membership doesn't include access to a mentor yourself.
Signing up is simple and takes just 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The mentoring team will then match you with a mentee within 2 weeks.
