The Ministry of Equality has launched its 2025 cycle of the Women’s Mentorship Programme, continuing its mission to support professional development and gender equality in the workplace. This initiative, supported by the GFSB’s Women in Enterprise (WIE), builds on its work since 2018, has benefited over 200 participants and tackled the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles across in Gibraltar.

What’s the programme about?

The programme pairs women aged 18+ with experienced mentors for one-to-one guidance and group learning sessions. Its goal is to develop mentees’ skills and confidence, enabling them to aspire to management and leadership positions. The organisers emphasise that equitable representation isn’t just about fairness—it’s a smart business move, opening up a broader talent pool and strengthening the economy.

Key details:

• Open to all women residing in Gibraltar aged 18+.
• Mentees can gain invaluable insights and skills for career advancement.
• Mentors, with significant expertise, provide tailored guidance and learning opportunities.

How to get involved?

• For mentees: Email meect@gibraltar.gov.gi by 24th January 2025.
• For mentors: Express interest via the same email and attend an orientation session before mentoring begins.
