AIPFE Mentoring Program 2024

AIPFE’s Mentoring Program aims to connect the next generation of female leaders with successful leaders & decision-makers, to equip them with advice, valuable feedback & industry know-how.

Mentoring is a special partnership between two people based on a commitment to the mentoring process, common goals/expectations of the partnership, and mutual trust and respect. Mentoring plays a crucial role in the mentee’s development as through mentorship someone can become more effective at work, learn new skills, manage their work life balance, develop greater confidence and make better decisions for their overall career growth.

Over the course of 3 months (10th March - 10th June 2024), our mentoring program aims to offer a supportive environment to our female members aged 18+ who would like to receive support and advice for their professional development.

How does the mentoring program work?

AIPFE’s 2nd round of Mentoring will begin in March 2024 and last for 3 months until June 2024.

The mentoring program begins on the 18th of January 2024 with the call for Mentees. The mentees can submit their application by the 30th of January 2024 and get matched with the mentor of their preference.

Over the following 3 months, the mentees will have the chance for 1:1 (online or offline) sessions with their dedicated mentor to pick their brain and receive feedback and valuable guidance. The timing and locations of the sessions are for the mentee and their mentor to agree on.
