FEMME | Female Mentorship Programme
Learn more about what to expect as a mentee at Eden McCallum!
A unique development opportunity for female students with an interest in strategy consulting
FEMME, our female mentorship programme, was created to elevate women by offering support, guidance and encouragement while they are building the foundation of their career and motivate women by creating a network of ambitious, like-minded women with an interest in strategy consulting.
During this nine-month mentorship programme, participants will develop themselves both professionally and personally. Together with an experienced mentor, you will figure out which topics are important to you, such as your development, work culture, how to leverage your background and maximize your potential.
As a mentee, you will also be appointed a buddy; someone who is currently enrolled in our Analyst Programme. They can share their experiences and help prepare for (case) interviews.
During the programme, you will expand your network and skills through social activities, workshops and events. Giving you the opportunity to get to know our (female) colleagues and other ambitious women with an interest in strategy consulting.
