It is very evident that there are very few senior women in our industry encouraging young women to enter our industry and to assist identified encumbants to fast track their personal development and careers. We have therefore embarked upon a Mentorship Programme (pilot and launch in Gauteng in March 2009 and in Cape Town and Durban in October 2009) which aims to empower and affirm our own members by mentorship by senior members (male and female) of the commercial property industry.
A mentorship framework is being established to implement this initiative successfully.

The mentorship program aims to: Train and guide suitable mentors Identify and monitor suitable mentees Expose mentees to senior leaders in our property sector Empower our members to be their best The need for mentors on a programme such as this is vital to its success, and should you be in a position to invest time in an individual to assist them in progressing their careers, please make contact with our National Co-ordinator on WPN Mentorship Launch 2009
