WHIMN launches female mentorship program

Following its launch over a year ago, News Corp’s women’s network With Her In Mind (WHIMN) has today – on International Women's Day – launched a new mentoring program. 

The program is designed for young media professionals to connect with female industry leaders; and will run over the next year providing mentors and mentees with opportunities to develop a connection, offer career direction and advice, identify opportunities for growth and provide feedback and support.

Speaking on the program, WHIMN general manager Georgi Pell said: “Given the rise of the female agenda and through thoughtful collaboration, WHIMN has developed this program to support and advocate for up and coming media executives to help them advance and unleash their limitless potential.

“Our goal with the program is to create an opportunity for young professionals to grow and develop in the media industry, and ultimately empower them to take their seat at the table. It’s so important to have female role models across more industries to inspire leaders of the future.”

Applications for the Mentorship program are open for the next four weeks, and you can view the full list of mentors (including the likes of L’Oreal Australia and New Zealand media director, Lyndall Campher, and news.com.au editor-in-chief Kate de Brito) here.
