WIAN | The Women in International Affairs
Network is a digital platform that seeks to change the conversation about
gender, youth equality and career development in the international sector.
Their 7-month mentorship programs were established to help students, graduates
and early career professionals with limited work experience navigate the
international sector through provision of practical support, guidance and empowerment.
Through WIAN mentoring, experienced
professionals, managers and leaders share their skills and experiences to build
the confidence and capability of entry level women. Mentoring provides the
opportunity for a learning experience for both mentor and mentee, and
demonstrates their focus on information and knowledge sharing at a practical
level.
Why
they do it.
Entry level candidates receive little support in getting their foot in the door, with qualified students and graduates often left with little guidance, information and even less confidence. WIAN aims to remedy this by uniting experienced and early-career women from across disciplines in international affairs. Using their platform, participants spend 7 months engaging with one another and sharing their experiences within a safe space. With particular attention on connecting women and facilitating relationships, their programme aims to foster a culture of information sharing, encourage and empower the next generation of female leaders, and create a vital network of women from different backgrounds, capability, interests, sectors and generations.
