Her World Mentorship Programme 2024: Why mentorship can be a game-changer for ambitious women

Looking to level up in your career? The Her World Mentorship Programme is back for the second year, and this time, we’re focusing on women in or looking to join the STEM field.

Launched in 2023, the Her World Mentorship Programme pairs inspirational women you see on our pages to aspiring achievers, so they can seek for guidance and advice as they navigate their professional and personal lives.

In 2023, our 11 mentees were matched with eight mentors from diverse industries. Throughout the six-month programme, the mentees and mentors were encouraged to meet at least three times to discuss their professional and personal goals. Her World also organised a launch event, a check-in panel discussion on the practical applications of AI, and invited the cohort to the Her World Women of the Year gala dinner.

What does mentorship mean to the 2023 mentors?

"I believe in the power of mentorship because it creates a safe space to transform and empower people", said Loo Wan Shan, Product owner (Robotics and Intelligent Machine) at Dyson.

"The right mentor will be able to share with you their knowledge, skill and expertise that can help you accelerate your personal and professional growth," said Sabrina Ho, Founder at career platform Half the Sky.

Her World will match mentees with mentors who match their professional aspirations, so that the expertise offered will be of maximal benefit to mentees.

"For the mentees, it's an absolutely fantastic opportunity to really learn from someone who's more seasoned or professional and who can help them fast track their career as well as create more accountability towards their career aspirations", said Bipasha Minocha, Group Chief Marketing Officer at Eton House International Education Group.
