_{About the Programme}

Since 2009, over 1500 women have participated in TWF’s highly acclaimed Mentoring Programme for Women Leaders. The Programme aims to provide participants with tools to advance their skills and knowledge in diversity, equity, and inclusion (D, E & I) and foster holistic growth and leadership development. Ultimately, the Mentoring Programme seeks to develop inclusive leaders and build an ecosystem of gender advocates to affect change at both an institutional and personal level. This year, we are looking for 60 high-potential aspiring female leaders (protégés) and 60 senior executive women (mentors) to join this cross-sector, inclusively led year-long programme. Participants are not only joining a cohort of 120 programme participants, but they are also joining a thriving and growing community of 1500 alumni.

_{Structure and Curriculum}

The Mentoring Programme consists of four different components which all work together to provide holistic growth and development. At the core of the Mentoring Programme is the One-to-One cross-industry Mentoring, a hallmark of TWF’s Mentoring Programme. The mentor/protégé pairing is supplemented by The Inclusive Leadership curriculum, Group Mentoring, and Peer Mentoring, all aiming towards holistic growth and development.

One-to-One Mentoring
Each mentoring pair is responsible for managing their own meetings with the onus on protégés to drive the engagement. Mentoring pairs decide the frequency and format of their meetings with many typically meet once a month throughout the Programme year.

Inclusive Leadership Curriculum Sessions
TWF provides participants with the opportunity to participate in tailored workshops held monthly in January to June 2025. Participants will be better equipped to contribute to a more inclusive workplace in their organisations and become gender advocates in the broader Hong Kong community.

Group Mentoring
Protégés and mentors share their challenges and expertise in 12 groups of 5 pairs each. Group Mentoring aims to provide a safe space to learn from each other and voice opinions openly. It also aims to help participants expand their network and learn from women in different roles and industries and to dive deeper into some of the Inclusive Leadership Curriculum topics, including “Finding Your Allies,” “Your Leadership Roadmap” and “Vulnerabilities” etc.

Peer Mentoring
Peer Mentoring consists of one-hour, open topic, problem solving sessions. This is an opportunity for mentors and protégés in their respective groups to share issues or questions about their mentoring relationship and how to get the most out of it. Challenges and solutions can be discussed. It is also an opportunity for the cohort to establish/deepen connectivity with their peers. There are usually two mentoring sessions for mentors and protégés respectively per programme cycle.

Testimonials

“I joined the TWF Mentoring Programme as a Protege back in 2022 and have since become a member of the Advisory Council. Throughout my time with TWF, I have been amazed at the profound impact it has had on me. TWF provides a well-structured programme with helpful resources and tools that empower women to grow, gain confidence and build a supportive network of other professional women from across Hong Kong. I highly recommend the Mentoring Programme to anyone who is looking to take the next step."
