As the Board Chair of WRAP TT, I am excited to share the launch of the 3rd installment of our Mentorship Program! We are committed to empowering women and girls of the Trinidad and Tobago diaspora to achieve their full potential! Please invite any junior, female professional of Trinbagonian heritage to apply to be a mentee and seasoned professionals to apply to be a mentor.

🔆 MENTORING MATTERS FOR PROFESSIONAL WOMEN 🔆
"The Women’s Roundtable Action Platform of T&T (WRAP TT) is embarking on the third edition of its annual mentorship programme from October 2023 to June 2024. The programme aims to accelerate the development of junior female professionals by matching them with seasoned professionals from the diaspora.
Although women have made considerable strides in education and careers, a 2019 report from the Ministry of Labour revealed that women still experience under employment, the broken rung, and 20 per cent less pay than men globally despite having more - 44.3 per cent versus 38.3 per cent - advanced degrees. WRAP TT wants to lessen these gaps for women on the rise by selecting ten ambitious junior professionals between the ages of 21-35 to participate in its nine-month mentorship programme.
The ideal candidates should be accountable, coachable, respectful, and growth-minded. The programme will be an enriching experience as research shows that junior professionals who have mentors early in their careers better “develop leadership skills, increase self-confidence, improve emotional intelligence, and navigate gender-specific obstacles to career advancement.” (Kramer 2021).
Also, “25 per cent of employees who participated in a mentoring programme had a salary-grade change, compared to only five percent of the workers who did not participate.” (Kramer)."
