Gender diversity group Rise has announced the pairing up of mentees and mentors for its fourth annual mentoring scheme in the UK. The scheme is also running for the second year in APAC, and this year additionally launches in North America.
The mentoring programme matches experienced broadcast technology media sector industry leaders to 49 female mentees, to offer expertise, knowledge and guidance.
Each pairing provides 12 hours of one-to-one time with the mentor and mentee; the opportunity to meet the mentee group on a monthly basis; as well as networking events, workshops, and seminars throughout the six-month programme.
Rise received more than 130 applications from potential mentees for this year’s programme.
Carrie Wootten, managing director of Rise, said: “We are very excited to announce the 2021 mentor and mentee pairings for all three regions, especially those in North America for the first time. We know that the support provided through the programme is needed now more than ever and we are proud to be supporting 49 women in the broadcast media and technology industry.”
