Overview
This group mentorship experience brings together peers and industry leaders in small, curated cohorts. The program is led by CEW in partnership with RallyBoard.
How it Works
- Each cohort consists of one experienced industry mentor and a curated group of mentees, matched based on career level, industry sector, job function, and professional goals
- Cohorts meet monthly for 60-minute virtual sessions over the course of five months, creating a consistent space for connection, reflection, and shared learning
- Each session focuses on a theme to guide meaningful discussion and practical, real-world insights
- Mentors will facilitate conversations, providing guidance and candid insight
- Mentees are expected to actively engage and contribute to each discussion
