About the Executive Mentoring Program
The essence of the program is based around a straightforward principle: to connect our Alumni in emerging leadership roles with our industry leaders. This connection is designed to foster growth and success and uphold WASMA’s reputation for developing outstanding leaders within the resources sector.
Each mentor will be paired with one mentee, meticulously chosen from a competitive pool of applicants. Mentors and mentees will meet on a regular basis from mid October 2025 – early February 2026. Both parties will determine the frequency of meeting and the topics to be discussed. This will give mentees time to further enhance their skills and capabilities under the guidance of their mentors.
A formal event will be held in mid-February, during which mentees will have the opportunity to showcase their journey and accomplishments to the mentors of the Executive Mentoring Program, along with invited guests. Only seven mentees will be selected to participate in the program.
