mentoring program

At Future by Diversity, we believe in the power of mentorship. The mentoring program brings experienced women and less experienced women together to learn from each other, grow, and share experiences. After all, why do it alone when you can do it together!

the mentoring program

For whom?

The mentoring program is for women with ambition, growth, or a development question. That could be you at the beginning of your career, as a (starting) entrepreneur, or a woman with ambition. As an experienced mentor, you know the pitfalls, but also the opportunities to seize during your career. It is extremely valuable to share this knowledge and experience with women who are in the same situation or will be in the future. It is an opportunity to be inspired by other ways of working and thinking.

this is what you can expect from us

  • A five-month trajectory with a minimum of five contact moments between mentor and mentee.
  • Inspiring meetings with all participants, including two company visits.
  • A safe environment in which knowledge and experiences are shared.
