LUCY MENTORING PROGRAM
UNSW Careers and Employment is excited to be running the Lucy Mentoring Program again in 2009.
The Program focuses on women studying an undergraduate university degree in Business, Finance, Accounting or Law. It aims to inspire, motivate and educate women about the opportunities available for employment and leadership in the public and private sectors.
The Minister for Women launched the program at UNSW in 2007 and both students and mentors have found it to be an enriching and inspiring experience.
We are seeking expressions of interest from senior level women with business, accounting, management, government or legal backgrounds to become involved as mentors.
