Cross Company Mentoring Program
PROVEN, PRACTICAL POWERFUL.
Members will have access to a 9-month program ran by Moving Ahead fully sponsored by Mastercard during the first year. In the program organizations participate through putting forward female mentees (high potential women at all levels of the career pyramid from mid manager to Board cusp) and male and female mentors (senior manager to Board Level).
Moving Ahead is a diversity, development and inclusion social impact organization that specializes in structured mentoring. The program started with the 30% Club in 2012 in the UK and has grown to 119 participating organizations with 2,634 participating mentors and mentees in 2019.
