WOMEESA Peer-Mentoring Program
Our peer-mentoring program will facilitate supportive relationships between members in the same career stage, encouraging learning from different experiences and empowering our members through their career and life journeys.
As a peer-mentoring experience, all participants will act as both mentors and mentees, giving you the opportunity to seek practical advice, support each other’s growth, reflect on your career, develop mentoring skills, and more!
How does it work?
The program is open to all WOMEESA members and is free of charge. We will form groups based on career level, mentoring interests, and where possible, location. The program will run for 10 months, between April 2025 and February 2026. Participants should commit to meet regularly to work towards their mentoring objectives.
As a self-organised group, each mentoring team will define its goal, meeting frequency, and session structure. The responsibility for organizing meetings will rotate among group members. The WOMEESA committee will provide guidance and suggestions on structuring mentoring sessions and the overall program.

“Mentorships provide opportunity for great discussions and feedback from an alternative voice you might not otherwise hear. They have helped me gain confidence in my strengths and identify pathways to improvement.”
“Mentors are essential elements in a supportive community. Your community is what helps you succeed more than anything, so make sure to build a strong one around you”
“Finding a great mentor took a bit of shopping around, but having someone who knows me, knows my aspirations, and is invested in my career has been invaluable for navigating tricky career situations.”
