DEADLINE EXTENDED: APPLY BY MONDAY 12 NOVEMBER

The mentorship programme gives young women entrepreneurs early in their careers the opportunity to receive guidance from experienced women leaders on how to further develop their business skills, knowledge and network. 

After the successful completion of a six-month mentoring scheme by Bridging Gaps Advisory (BGA) and the Youth Empowerment Project (YEP) in 2017/18, the programme is going into its second edition, matching experienced women (mentors) with young women entrepreneurs (mentees) to allow young women to participate in this empowering scheme and to benefit from its positive rippling effect.


Objectives
To provide young entrepreneurs with life changing skills and experiences that will help them to further develop their businesses for sustainable success.
