What our graduates say...
The diversity of membership, breadth of experience and empowered mentorship that I have been able to access through this programme has been invaluable. Learning, sharing and most importantly belonging has been crucial to the development of my own professional and personal growth mindset.
The Peer Mentoring Programme offers excellent tools to apply in both personal and professional contexts, as well as providing a space for open and insightful conversations. Learning is fun while making great connections with incredible women
