Bunbury Geographe Chamber of Commerce and Industry calls for applications for 2023/24 mentorship program

South West entrepreneurs looking to challenge their way of thinking on personal growth, professional development and career progression are encouraged to take part in a 12-month partnership program. Bunbury Geographe Chamber of Commerce and Industry has opened applications for the 2023/24 edition of its South West Leaders Program, a 12-month mentor-mentee partnership program that provides a supportive learning environment for local business owners and workers. Open to anyone in the South West, the program provides an opportunity for participants to learn and develop their skill set from their peers, as well as forming a strong professional partnership. Since being established by South West District Superintendent Geoff Stewart four years ago, the free program has grown exponentially with 150 participants in the 2022/23 edition. Along with pairing mentors with mentees to schedule their own meetings and develop their professional relationship, the South West Leaders program also facilitates several support events, including breakfast events with keynote speakers, sundowner networking events, online webinars and a regular newsletter. The 2023/23 South West Leaders program will run from September 2023 to September 2024, with applications for mentors and mentees closing on Thursday, August 31.
