Why A Mentor Programme?
Many schools do not offer career guidance or the support needed to navigate the decision process when deciding on a career or tertiary institution. We wish to empower young women to be ready for tertiary education and to make the correct career choices.
Many young women:
- Lack confidence due to not having good role models or parental guidance.
- Are not aware of career opportunities.
- This leads to innappropriate (and often unsuccessful) tertiary studies.
- Do not know how to access study bursaries or apply to a tertiary institution.
Our programme focuses on Grade 12 learners of Good Hope Seminary in Hope Street, Cape Town
Windermere High in Boston Street, Factreton.
Making A Difference:
We welcome professional women to become a “time mentor” to mentor a grade 12 learner. You are required to commit to meet the mentee approximately once a month between February and November, attend group events, e.g. launch, mentor guidance session and keep in touch via WhatsApp.
Typically, as a mentor you:
- Are seen as a role model
- Offer guidance with career choices, including psychometric testing
- Assist with application for bursaries and further studies
- Encourage mentees to attend and discuss workshops on relevant topics
- Facilitate job shadows
