Our mentoring program supports two of FITT’s primary objectives:
	Inspire women in the industry to achieve their personal aspirations and potential AND
	Assist women to broaden their understanding of the ICT industry.

This year we have revamped the program to strengthen its value:

• Made the program 3 months longer to increase mentor/mentee meeting time
• Introduced a mentee networking evening, creating an alumni
• Recruited new presenters with a strong emphasis on quality delivery
• Focused more on individuals by providing an in-depth personality profile and a self awareness session with an accredited facilitator of the profiling tool
• Retained our highly successful matching process, mentoring model and contract
• Maintained our very competitive mentee fee at 2011’s level of $795 for early-bird applications.

The NSW Government Women in Business Mentor Program
This is a six-month agenda that helps women business owners (mentorees) grow their business by linking them with experienced business people (mentors).  Using a combination of mentoring, practical business workshops and networking events, the Program lends a hand to women to improve their business skills and successfully manage business growth.
