CROSS-COMPANY MENTORING

The Advance cross-company mentoring program is exclusive to Advance members. This unique one-year program matches high-potential female mentees with senior executive mentors to create focused relationships that foster professional and personal growth. 


Mentoring Summit 2024
Unique in Switzerland

With close to 150 member companies, Advance is the only organization in Swiss business that can offer a cross-company and cross-industry mentoring program of such high quality and scale. The mentee offer is exclusive to high-potential female leaders nominated by member companies. 

High-Caliber Mentors
Our mentors are senior business leaders, both male and female, from member companies, with a proven track record in business and talent development. Just imagine the wealth of knowledge and experience participants can access in this high-caliber pool!
Trusted Environment
Because mentors and mentees are not from the same company, confidentiality is guaranteed, establishing a solid ground for open dialogue and trusted relationships that often carry on beyond the mentoring year. 
Insights from the Outside
Advance takes mentoring beyond the usual limits of corporations or industries. We consciously bring people from different environments, set-ups, and backgrounds together, offering them a change of perspective and a fresh view on strategies for career advancement. Mentors also appreciate the effects of reverse mentoring.
Once in a Lifetime Opportunity
Over 1,500 mentors and mentees have already benefited from this offer. Many mentees made veritable quantum leaps to a whole new level. - Eager to participate? Have a look if your company is an Advance member
