Accenture Women Mentoring Program

Accenture, UAF, and the Refugee Talent Hub are organizing a professional mentorship program for women. For this program we are looking for female candidates with a refugee background who would like to be supported in their search for a job.

For 4 months, you will be matched with an employee from Accenture who will help you boost your professional development. The program will start on the 25th of November, 2022. There is limited space, so register quickly for the Accenture Women Mentoring Program!

As a woman with a refugee background that would like to work, you are likely to face challenges in finding a job. For example, because you have a small professional network, know little about the Dutch labor market or find it difficult to meet employers. On top of this, women remain underrepresented on the Dutch labor market. To overcome these challenges, Accenture, the Refugee Talent Hub & UAF are offering this mentoring program for you.

We are looking forward to meeting you!

About the Women Mentoring Program

This program will focus on the specific opportunities and challenges that female professionals may encounter in their work. As a mentee in the program, you will receive one-on-one guidance and support from a mentor from Accenture in multiple ways, including:

  • Setting career goals and formulating concrete next steps for your career during the 4 months of the mentor program;

  • Creating/improving your CV and receiving guidance on how to create a professional LinkedIn page to present yourself better on the Dutch labor market;

  • Preparing for future job interviews by practicing interview questions, and discussing how to follow up;

  • Enhancing networking skills and learning how to identify opportunities to grow your network.

On the one hand, your mentor will share his/her knowledge, skills, and professional network with you. On the other hand, your mentor can also learn a lot from you! During the physical meetings and online check-ins, you will learn more about each other, work in general, and Accenture in particular.
