CROSS-COMPANY INDUSTRY MENTORING PROGRAMMES

Industry-specific mentoring programmes invite individuals to mentor people from different organisations within the same sector. 

We partner with industry bodies, campaigns, and sponsor organisations to accelerate representation and inclusion in their sector.  We deliver industry-specific cross-company programmes in collaboration with organisations and campaigns including Women in Rail, Actuarial Mentoring Programme, Women in Defence, and Broadening Horizons (for early-career researchers) in partnership with industry leaders such as Ministry of Defence and Wellcome. 

These programmes leverage the power of diverse matches between different organisations and inspire cross-company learning, at a large scale.

Throughout the programme we will deliver inspiring and high-impact events from our expert faculty and Speaker Academy to equip and develop the mentors and mentees. We will also provide dynamic learning materials such as Moving Ahead’s ‘Guide to Extraordinary Mentoring’ including mentoring films, workbooks and practical guides.

  • “I enjoyed getting advice from someone outside my business. I felt I could talk openly and honestly without fear of repercussions or getting laughed at. The mentoring programme has had a massive impact on my confidence which has been noticed by managers and peers and this has led to me managing new exciting projects "

    Mentee, Women in Defence mentoring programme

  • “As a female in the rail industry it’s been very unusual for me to come across other females in similar roles so to have the opportunity to meet many like-minded women and have a peer group I can connect with is an opportunity I could not miss”

    Mentee, Women in Rail mentoring programme

  • “Don’t judge a book by its cover! When I first saw who my match was, I was worried it wouldn’t work as they didn’t work in areas I was interested in. I couldn’t have been more wrong, the mentoring relationship…has been brilliant”

    Mentee, Sport England programme

  • “As a male mentoring a female, it has made me think about what the workplace feels like from another perspective. This has prompted some discussions with my 19-year old daughter, who has explained to me how intimidating it can sometimes feel for women at work and in society generally”

    Mentor, Women in Rail mentoring programme

  • “AMP (Actuarial Mentoring Programme) is establishing itself within the actuarial profession as an essential initiative for helping organisations within the sector champion diverse talent and inclusion.”

    Tracy Blackwell, CEO, Pension Insurance Corporation
