“I came across this program at a time when I was changing directions in my career and had endless questions and uncertainties. My match felt like a perfect pairing from the very beginning – whether it’s sharing past learnings and experiences with me or simply chatting over coffee, my mentor always challenges my assumptions and inspires me to expand my comfort zone. This was honestly one of the best choices I made last year for both my career and personal development!”
Why Mentorship with YWiB?
Mentorship is an excellent opportunity to kick-start your career, gain insight into the skillsets you need to grow, get guidance while making a career shift, or get some accountability to help you finally achieve your goals.
From a mentee perspective, mentorship is an excellent opportunity to kickstart your career, gain insight into the skillsets you need to grow, get guidance while making a career shift, and get the accountability you need to achieve your goals. YWiB’s Mentorship Program is also mentee-driven, allowing you to cater your interactions and growth towards achieving your career goals.
Tailored to the mentees’ objectives and interests, our mentorship coordinators strategically select mentors based on the mentees’ needs and goals to help with both professional and personal development. Based on mentee applications, we seek out women in the Vancouver business community who align with your career aspirations and will help to inspire and guide you in achieving your goals.
It is not a networking program – this is not a way to gain contacts in your industry but a carefully curated experience to help catapult your professional growth.
