With the aid and support of Orijen, QANTAS has introduced a
two year development program for talented women, designed around mentoring and
networking. This approach has been proven as a strategy to attract, retain and
develop QANTAS’ executive women.
The Women@Qantas mentoring program aims to strengthen the
talent pipeline by assisting talented women to:
- Build
their networks both internally and externally
- Broaden
their knowledge of leadership and business
- Create
career development opportunities
- Connect
and engage with colleagues across the organisation.
A combination of internal and external mentoring
opportunities provide the women with broad and empowering mentoring
experiences. In their first year, women are provided with a mentor. In the
second year they take on a leadership role in mentoring others and after the
two year program, they join the Women@Qantas alumni, an advisory and networking
community.
