Why Mentorship with YWiB?
As students, we consider many different paths throughout our university careers. During this decision-making process, the amount of information we have and the people we meet make a significant difference and have the capacity to potentially change our lives.
Take a step further this year and join YWiB UBC’s BLOSSOM Mentorship Program as a mentee to hear and learn from successful business professionals who have been in your shoes. Our mentors offer first-hand exposure to your field of interest and will provide you with new insights and growth experiences, opening up the door to amazing and life-lasting connections.
BLOSSOM is a great chance to test your proactivity and communication abilities, an opportunity to increase your network with both students and professionals, and it possesses the potential to inspire, teach, and encourage you to become a more powerful woman.

Program Schedule
This extensive 6-month program connects UBC students with successful and highly regarded business professionals from various backgrounds. From mid-October to early April, BLOSSOM will have three events that are mandatory for participants (Mentor-Mentee Meet & Greet, Mid-Point Check In Event, and Wrap-up Mix & Mingle).
These evening events will foster relationship building between pairs and act as networking sessions in which Mentors and Mentees will be free to engage with other participants aside from their designated partner. Once per semester, pairs will be required to meet with each other outside of the mandatory occasions.
