The Women’s Stream focuses on providing mentorship tailored to women navigating the workplace.
With guidance from experienced Senior Professionals, participants will explore how to overcome gender-specific challenges, grow in leadership roles, and advance their careers in various industries.

Whether you're in the early stages of your career or exploring new paths, this stream offers mentorship that focuses on universal skills like leadership, communication, and problem-solving that can be applied across industries.
It’s an excellent choice for those aiming to build a strong, adaptable foundation for career growth in a variety of fields.
Industry-Specific Stream
The Industry-Specific Stream is designed for individuals seeking mentorship tailored to their specific career fields, such as healthcare, tech, finance, education, and more.
With guidance from Senior Professionals in the same industry, participants gain in-depth knowledge and insights into industry trends, challenges, and opportunities.
This stream is perfect for those looking to deepen their expertise and grow within their chosen field.
2025 WORKSHOP DATES
Each workshop will occur between 6.00 pm - 8.30 pm on the following dates:
Tuesday 13th of May
Tuesday 17th of June
Tuesday 15th of July
Tuesday 19th of August
THE TRIAD
Each triad includes a:
-
University Student (second year or later)
-
Young Professional (2+ years’ experience)
-
Senior Executive (15+ years’ experience)
The three will meet monthly, at a minimum, in between the workshops.
THE ENNEAGRAM
This program uniquely includes a personal Enneagram Personality Test for each participant, plus a follow-up facilitation and debrief, valued at $650.
The Enneagram is a powerful approach to understanding the psychology, emotions and behaviour of ourselves and others, enabling us to grow and become strong leaders. Each participant will take a test and this will then frame deeper learning and growth among triads and the group as a whole.
HAVE A COFFEE ON US
This year we are partnering with the amazing team at All Things Equal to shout you and your mentoring triad a coffee when you catch up between events.
All Things Equal is a fresh take on the typical cafe in Melbourne, providing purposeful employment for people with and without disability in a 'mainstream' work environment.
The 2025 mentoring program is run in proud partnership with
TIME COMMITMENT
All participants are required to attend at least three of the events during the program, irrespective if others in their triad are able to attend.
In addition to attending the four events, we recommend each group commits to regular mentoring team meetings at least once per month (i.e. at least once in between each event).
These meetings are to be organised at the discretion of each triad, however, there is an expectation that the Young Professional in each triad is ultimately responsible for organising these meetings.

"Many young professionals are seeking senior mentors – this program does just that. The YAICC Mentoring Program uses customised personality assessments to pair you with senior industry leaders and provides an environment for that relationship to grow. Personally, I know those bonds will far outlast the length of the formal 4-month program."
“It gave me an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, learn about myself and others, and connect to people from a range of backgrounds and industries.”
