The Program:
Welcome to the Women in Project Management (WIPM) mentorship program, dedicated to empowering professionals in their careers. With four phases encompassing recruitment, orientation, regular meetings, and graduation, our goal is to cultivate connections and foster professional growth.
Phase 1: Recruitment of Mentors and Mentees
Six mentors and six mentees will be paired based on their experience, skill sets, and career expectations.
Women in Project Management is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of its highly anticipated Mentorship Program.
This free launching and networking event will bring together a diverse group of project managers, industry leaders, and mentorship enthusiasts to celebrate the beginning of a transformative journey for all participants.
The highlight of the evening will be the introduction of the Mentorship Program’s first cohort of mentors and mentees.

Phase 2: Orientation and Goal Setting
Orientation sessions will be conducted for mentors and mentees to define their roles, set expectations, outline the program structure, and establish guidelines. Both parties will collaborate in setting clear, measurable goals that align with the objectives of the mentorship program.
Phase 3: Regular Meetings, Monitoring, Feedback and Evaluation
From October 2024 through April 2025, biweekly meetings will be held, offering both in-person and virtual options.

Women in Project Management (WIPM) will also organize project management workshops and networking events during this period.
Phase 4: Recognition and Closure
Graduation will take place in May 2025.
