Positive Impact of Women’s Mentorship Programme

Following the success of the pilot cycle, the Women’s Mentorship Programme has continued to generate a great deal of interest and has grown from strength to strength. Over 60 participants are currently enrolled in the second cycle of the Programme, which began in July and which will conclude in November.

The Programme is supported by a wide cross section of the community and enjoys the endorsement of key stakeholder organisations including the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses, the Gibraltar Chamber of Commerce, Girls in Tech Gibraltar, Women in Business, and EY Gibraltar. The voluntary involvement of these key community organisations - who are each represented on the Programme Panel - and the Programme’s high-calibre mentors, are crucial to its success.

Feedback from participants clearly demonstrates the tangible, positive impact of the Women’s Mentorship Programme in promoting Gender Equality in the workplace. The Programme strongly encourages men as well as women from across Gibraltar’s private and public sectors to volunteer as mentors. Through fostering strong individual relationships, the Programme works to break down barriers, as well as actively supporting women to achieve their personal and professional goals.
