WHEN: Mentoring For Career Development & Gender Equality
Mentorship can be a turning point in a woman’s professional journey. At WHEN, mentoring is not just about guidance — it’s about building bridges between women, sharing experiences, and creating opportunities for growth. Through the WHEN Mentoring Platform, women can find a mentor who understands their challenges, supports their ambitions, and helps them design a path toward their goals.

Whether you are looking for a mentor to accompany you in your next career step, or you wish to give back by becoming a mentor yourself, the platform makes it easy to connect, collaborate, and grow together.

What Mentoring Is (And Isn’t)

A mentor is not a teacher or a guru. She is a fellow professional who shares her own knowledge and experience, helping her mentee clarify goals, overcome challenges, and take practical steps forward.
Unlike coaching or therapy, mentoring is focused on professional development rather than personal issues. It’s a supportive partnership where experience becomes a stepping stone for another woman’s progress.

How The Platform Works

Through the platform, mentees can:
  • Browse profiles of mentors from diverse professional fields.

  • Choose the mentoring package that best fits their needs.

  • Request a collaboration directly with their mentor of choice.

  • Track progress and receive updates through the platform.

The platform also ensures smooth communication, keeps a record of the mentoring journey, and supports both mentor and mentee every step of the way.

Mentoring Packages

To fit different needs, WHEN offers 3 flexible options:
  • 3-Month Mentoring Package 
    Ideal if you have a few focused questions or want to explore a new field. Includes at least 3 sessions and ongoing support from the WHEN team.

  • 6-Month Mentoring Package 
    Best for deeper support in advancing your career path. Includes at least 6 sessions and continuous guidance from the WHEN team.

  • Coaching & Mentoring 2-in-1 
    A combined package for those who haven’t yet decided on a specific career direction. Includes 4 coaching sessions plus two 3-month mentoring packages in different fields.

Mentoring at WHEN is about solidarity, empowerment, and long-term impact. Since its launch in 2020, thanks to the support of the WHEN community, the platform has grown into a trusted resource for women seeking guidance and connection.

Every mentoring relationship is unique, but all share a common thread: women lifting each other up and paving the way for greater equality in the workplace.
