At WIBF, we know that professional development is essential - but we also understand that time is limited. That’s why, since 2007, we’ve offered a flexible and impactful six-month mentoring programme, designed to work around your schedule while delivering meaningful results.
The programme is managed through our dedicated mentoring platform, Pushfar, which makes it easy to stay connected and on track. Every pairing is still carefully matched by our mentoring team, ensuring a personalised experience that meets your goals.
If you’re looking to become a mentee, this opportunity is available exclusively to members with All Access Membership, giving you priority access to some of the most talented professionals in the financial services industry.
If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, we have a free Mentor Membership that is designed for you. We welcome mentors from across the industry who want to share their experience and support our ambitious members.
We provide participants with resources and materials to support their mentoring journey as well as in-person and virtual workshops designed specifically for mentors and mentees.
Whether you're looking to grow your career or help someone else grow theirs, now is the time to get involved.

“Having been in the same job role for almost ten years, I felt as thought I was stuck in a bit of a rut and somewhat lacking in direction and focus. WIBF's mentorship service piqued my interest. I was initially quite nervous, but it has honestly turned out to be probably one of the most beneficial things I've done professionally in a number of years.”

"Don’t hesitate to become a mentor! It’s a great way of widening your network and meeting new people from different parts of the finance industry. It’s very rewarding to play some small part in someone’s career development and personal growth, and assist in the overall objectives of WIBF."
