The Empowering Girls mentoring programme, facilitated by the Careers Enterprise Company, has profoundly impacted the participants over its six-week journey. This initiative aimed to uplift, inspire, and equip girls with the confidence and tools needed to realise their potential and pursue ambitious goals.
Through meaningful mentorship, the girls developed a stronger sense of self-belief and resilience, allowing them to recognise their unique strengths and capabilities. They were exposed to valuable insights into career opportunities and pathways, helping to broaden their horizons and clarify their aspirations.
Many of the participants reported feeling inspired by their mentors’ guidance and success stories, fostering a sense of empowerment to overcome challenges and stereotypes. The programme also cultivated essential skills such as communication, decision-making, and goal setting, which will support them not only academically but also in their personal and professional futures.
Ultimately, the mentoring programme has acted as a catalyst for change, encouraging the girls to embrace their potential and strive for success in all areas of their lives. It stands as a testament to the transformative power of mentorship and positive role modelling.
We will be running this programme throughout the year and can’t wait to see the next group get started.
