Mentorship

The Youth Council has organized a mentorship program to provide young people with the opportunity to learn from and be guided by experienced professionals in their field of interest. The program aims to foster the professional development of the mentees and help them to build networks and connections in their industry.
Participants in the mentorship program are matched with a mentor who has relevant expertise and experience in their chosen field. The mentor provides guidance and support to the mentee, helping them to set goals and develop a plan to achieve them. The mentor also provides feedback and helps the mentee to overcome any challenges that may arise.
Throughout the program, mentees have the opportunity to meet with their mentor on a regular basis, either in person or through virtual meetings. They also have access to resources and support to help them succeed in their professional development journey.
The mentorship program is open to young people aged 18-35 who are interested in building their careers. The program aims to help young people to build skills, confidence, and connections that will help them to succeed in their chosen careers.
