Would you like to mentor someone, or be mentored? RWSN mentoring programme announcement (EN/ FR/ SP) Register to be a mentor and/or a mentee by 15 May 2023 / Inscrivez-vous devenir mentor et/ou mentoré avant le 15 mai 2023.

In 2023, for the fourth year, RWSN is running its mentoring programme for the water sector. Hundreds of water professionals have already participated in the RWSN mentoring programme in previous years. This year, we will be using the PushFar online platform for mentors and mentees to be able to find each other directly. ∙ How does the RWSN Mentoring Programme work? Our mentoring programme lasts 6 months and connects a mentor and a mentee in the water sector. Mentors and mentees find each other via the PushFar platform, and then maintain communication directly through PushFar, Skype, WhatsApp, email, messages etc, as they prefer. Our guidance document (in English, French or Spanish) can give you an idea of the timeline and structure of the programme. ∙ What are the benefits of the RWSN Mentoring Programme? To get an idea of the benefits of participating in the RWSN Mentoring Programme, you can watch this video and read the blogs where some of our previous RWSN mentees and mentors share their experience. In case you still need convincing, our partner PushFar has some really interesting statistics on the benefits of mentoring for mentees AND mentors here. ∙ Who is the RWSN Mentoring Programme for? The 2023 RWSN Mentoring programme is open to all RWSN members and free of charge. If you are not yet a RWSN member, you can join RWSN here. Mentees: All young professionals under the age of 35 and women of all ages in the water sector are eligible to be mentees. In addition, alumni of selected RWSN courses (on solar-powered water systems, groundwater resources management, and professional drilling management) will also be eligible and will be included by invitation only. There is no minimum level of experience required. Students are welcome to participate. Mentors: There is no age requirement for mentors (senior professionals), but they should have a minimum of 5 years of professional experience in the water sector. We are looking for a range of mentors with different levels of experience and a variety of skills, so don’t hesitate to apply even if you feel that you may not be ‘senior’ enough. We strongly encourage women to sign up both as mentors and mentees, as they are currently under-represented in our membership and in the sector more broadly – and we would like this to change! Interested and want to join as a mentor, mentee, or both? Read our guidance document first (in English, French or Spanish) to check that you understand your role and are eligible, and then sign up through our online platform. You may find these guidelines helpful to navigate the online platform. The number of participants of the RWSN Mentoring Programme is capped and participants will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis – so sign up early to avoid disappointment! | »
