Getting Started:

Mentors:

• Fill out the application form and send it to the program officer.
• We’ll provide all the program details and requirements along with the form.

Mentees:

• Just like the mentors, fill out your application form and submit it to the programme office.
• You’ll also get all the necessary info and requirements with the form.

About the Programme:

This mentorship program is proudly sponsored by Bank Windhoek. It’s designed especially for women who can’t afford formal mentoring or who are just starting out and need guidance. Please note that intake is limited, so don’t miss out!

What Happens Next:

• Interviews: The Selection Committee will have a chat with both mentors and mentees to see if everything is a good fit.
• Matching: We’ll pair you up! Whenever possible, we try to match mentees with mentors in the same field.
• Orientation: Before you dive in, we’ll offer some orientation and training to get everyone on the same page.

Throughout the Programme:

The programme officer will check in regularly to see how things are going and will report back to the selection and management committee every month. If any issues pop up, the committee will step in to help.

At the end of the year, we’ll have a special event to celebrate everyone’s hard work and progress.

After the Programme:

The formal mentor-mentee relationship lasts for one year. After that, if you want to keep the connection going informally, feel free! Mentors can also choose to be matched with a new mentee.

Important Note:

If you have any grievances, please report them to the selection committee within 5 days.
