We’re excited to be piloting an online mentoring programme with the Isle of Wight Education Federation. The information on this page relates solely to this pilot and is aimed at students attending the school. If you are part of our in person mentoring programme via your school please go directly to your teacher that shared the opportunity with you.

If you are a student at the Isle of Wight Education Federation - we are excited to be working with your school to introduce to you a mentor and network of role models who are women!

As a mentee, you will be invited to attend at least 10 mentoring sessions, covering a variety of areas with a mentor who has experience of the working world. You’ll become part of an inclusive network, and have access to various opportunities online such as workshops and events. 

About us

2. We exist to connect young women like you with a mentor and network of role models who are women to get from where you are, to where you want to be, on your terms and at your pace.
