Young Women’s Mentoring Workshops

Our Young Women’s Mentoring Workshops are hosted throughout the year and provide opportunities for young women to engage with other women who are experts in their fields, sharing their stories, decision making processes and insights into their career journeys. The workshops are designed to create networking opportunities enabling young women to connect and cultivate supportive environments to better support each other professionally. Speakers will be from a range of industries, including politics, activism, marketing, STEM, fitness, and youth work.
