Mentorship Program

Mentorship culture is new in Nepal. The program is specially focused on young women from Technology and Management backgrounds including Civil and architects. Through this mentorship program, we are trying to build up a platform where a person can share their personal, and professional dilemmas with a mentor who would guide them to make well-informed decisions. The main agenda of the program is to identify and solve the obstacles keeping mentees away from achieving their professional goals. The mentorship program for young women aims to create a supportive platform. Through carefully matched pairs and weekly virtual meetings the program empowers mentees to overcome obstacles in their careers. This initiative not only fills the mentorship gap but also lays the groundwork for lasting support and success.

How does it work?

Matching will be finalized by Shequal’s team based on the correlation between mentor and mentee, their field of interest, personality profiling, and area of expertise. During this program mentors and mentees meet virtually to discuss given topics on a weekly basis, exploring a range of facets from career goal setting, leadership and emotional intelligence, networking, and more. Mentors and mentees can be expected to make a 25 to 30-hour time commitment over the length of the program for meetings and preparation for meetings.

What’s in it for the mentors: The chance to reflect upon their own choices and learn new

insights that could help them, but also the opportunity to make a real difference in the career of another person. This is often reported to be a very fulfilling and rewarding experience and one which is tinged with fresh inspiration and insights into the industry as seen from the perspective of the mentee, which can be transformational in itself. Mentoring provides an opportunity to increase your profile and your professional networks. Also, it enhances mentoring skills, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
