How does it work?

The mentor matching is open 4 times a year for two weeks. During that period you can apply using the form below. BWC will match your business skills to a suitable mentor and make the introduction.

The first two sessions are free to Business Women Connections members. When the sessions have finished, the mentor and mentee can discuss if the partnership will be mutually beneficial and progress from there.

What are the intake dates?

All BWC members can apply for the Mentoring Match programme within the first two weeks of the following months - February, April, June, October.

How do I find a mentor or mentee on the BWC platform?

First, subscribe to BWC Edinburgh then head to connect on the app. From there, we’ll guide you through the process step-by-step and the dates when you can apply for a mentor.

We have a great group of mentors ready to help you in your local area. They can share information about their own career path as well as provide guidance, motivation, emotional support and role modelling. Our mentors will help with everything from exploring careers and setting goals to developing contacts and identifying resources.

Alvina will meet with you initially to understand your mentoring needs, work with you to identify an appropriate mentor within her extensive network of business connections. Some of our mentors are shown below however, as each individual has unique circumstances, you may be introduced and matched to another trusted individual with the experience and insights you need.
