Nordic Mentorship Program

Through the Mentorship Program, we connect ambitious young professionals with experienced executives and entrepreneurs. Our mission is to foster a meaningful exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experience between mentors and mentees. The program offers a platform for personal career development, practical business advice, and valuable networking opportunities, designed to strengthen the bond between senior professionals and the next generation of talent.

For Mentees
You will have the opportunity to learn directly from professionals with deep industry experience. This includes tailored guidance on career development, insights on overcoming workplace challenges, and support in shaping your business ideas and long-term goals.

  • Open to Nordic Business Council Members only

  • Priority is given to Young Professionals

  • Maximum 5 applicants per company (additional applicants subject to availability)

  • Fee: AED 150 incl. VAT

For Mentors
Mentors, also Nordic Business Council Members, will benefit from engaging with emerging talent, gaining access to fresh perspectives, and possibly identifying future recruits. Above all, mentors will experience the satisfaction of guiding a mentee toward personal and professional growth.

  • Priority is given to Corporate and Professional Members
