Inaugural participants in the UDIA WA Emerging Leaders program completed the mentoring aspect of the program on Wednesday October 15. The wrap up event was a great way to book end what has been a fantastic learning and professional development experience for mentees and mentors alike.
Following a one-day, bespoke Emerging Leaders Course held at AIM, the mentoring program was undertaken over six months. Individuals were expertly matched with an established industry leader and met up one-on-one with them for professional and industry development that is aimed at assisting participants to identify career development goals and hone their leadership style and skills.
Closing out their time together, mentors and mentees came together at the UDIA WA office to reflect on the impact the program had on themselves in their workplaces, but also on how they fit into the broader industry – excited for further opportunities to give back to the industry.
