Are you facing a pivotal decision in your career? Are you looking to give back and support others in their career journey?

This is a fantastic opportunity for mentors to sharpen their professional and leadership skills while doing good and mentees will be able to leverage their mentor’s expertise to work through a key career challenge.

At this event, you’ll mingle over canapés, hear inspirational stories from our panel from Capgemini Invent and AWS on how mentoring has impacted other mentors and mentees, meet and network with those in and outside of your industry.

Space is limited; register your interest here and we will send you a form so you can let us know if you would like to be a mentor or a mentee. Mentors will be matched with mentees based on experience level, professional interests, developmental goals, and personal attributes.  Please note that your place will be confirmed once you have been matched.
