Dubai Business Women Council launches 4th cycle of Mentorship Programme 

The Dubai Business Women Council (DBWC) has launched the 4th cycle of its Mentorship Programme.

Around 100 members took part in the previous 3 cycles of the highly acclaimed programme, which aims to provide the participants with valuable expertise, support and guidance by pairing them with appropriate mentors.

About the program

Featuring a distinct group of experienced mentors, the mentorship programme offers hands-on and professional training to enhance the experiences and competitiveness of the participants in the business environment.

This reflects the strenuous efforts made by the DBWC to strengthen the skills and capacities of its members, especially in light of the current challenges imposed by the pandemic and the tough competition that the labour market is witnessing.

A customized training plan will be set up according to the professional needs and requirements of each mentee. This includes personalized one-on-one mentoring to help improve the skills of the participants. 

Those who are interested to sign up for the programme can apply online through the DBWC website; the application deadline is 28 October 2021.

This will be followed by a selection pairing process conducted by the steering committee to ensure that the mentees are paired with the right mentors throughout the tenure of the six-month program.

Alumni and existing mentors and partner companies

The list of companies that took part in the program and provided mentoring services for the participants include representatives from Visa and the French Business Council in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, Siemens, JPMorgan Chase, Damac Properties, Amazon Web Services, Edelman Middle East, Nestlé, Expo 2020 Dubai , and many more.
