Use our specialist software to search for a mentor who has the experience and skills to enable you to reach your milestones. Keep track of goals, schedule meetings and communicate with each other over your twelve-month partnership.

There is an additional fee for WES Members and non-Members to join Mentor SET. There is no charge to join as a mentor.

Why Mentoring?

  • The mentee feels supported and has a mechanism for working through any problems that exist as a result of being in a minority
  • Mentoring includes training, support, encouragement, advice and guidance from people who have both ‘done it before’ and are usually independent of the mentee’s current organisation
  • Both the mentees and mentors gain confidence and leadership skills
  • Mentees report the benefits of a different perspective
  • Mentees are more likely to plan and apply for promotions
  • Mentors and mentees can gain insights into best business practices in other companies
  • The process allows mentors and mentees to make useful networking connections, and have access to role models
