Mentorship Program

We host 2 mentorship programs per year. Find personalized growth through conversations with your mentor, professional trainings at company in-house days, and networking with others in the program through closing drinks!

Mentorship Program 12 opens in January 2026. Stay up to date by looking at our calendar below!

  • Sign up to be matched with a mentor of your preference and we’ll do our best to create matches according to those preferences.

    1-3 mentees will be matched to the same mentor and sessions will be held together (once every 3-5 weeks). Mentor chats can be over tea, during a walk, online or even for dinner, just how you like it!

    Mentors will be introduced on our instagram and below.

  • Besides your mentor meetings, four *professional training sessions hosted by our Mentorship Program partners will be organised for you to attend.

    *Professional Trainings are typically on-site at Partner Offices.

    During these trainings, you will have the opportunity to learn new skills, discover career options, and network with professionals.

    Mentorship Program 12’s partners are Maven Securities, NLR, Picnic, and TWD.

  • Celebrate your learning and growth with closing drinks.

    All the mentors and mentees will have the opportunity to get to know each other in a chill atmosphere.

Tips for applying

  • Be as specific as possible - give specific examples, questions or situations of what you are hoping to learn.

  • Tell us what sector(s) you are interested in and why?

  • What are your passions and interests?

  • The more you tell us about yourself, the better we can determine if the mentor you applied to (or another mentor) is a good match.

  • What kinds of companies have you considered? Give us some examples.

  • Who is one of your current role models?

  • What kind of career are you thinking about?

  • Check your answers, and think about whether or not this sentence specifically applies to you or whether it could apply to anyone.

What to expect at the trainings

Trainings usually take place in the evenings and are hosted at our partner’s offices. Here’s what a typical training may look like:

~ Arrive around 17:30–18:00 (depending on travel time).

~The program often begins with a short welcome and 1–2 inspiring talks by women from the organization we are visiting.

~ After that, there is often some kind of workshop or training activity to give you a hands-on experience with a case study, or tips & tricks in specific situations.

~ Next, we enjoy dinner together, followed by a tour of the workplace, which is always a highlight of course!

~ We then usually close the evening with an informal networking borrel. Our goal for both the dinner and the borrel is to have as many female employees join as possible, so you have the chance to connect with them and hear different stories.

~ In total, the evening usually runs until around 22:00.

*Please note that this is an example of how a training might run but each organization has the opportunity to host in their own way.

Mentee/Mentor Experiences

  • Julia & Maaike

    "I mostly learned from Maaike how important the working culture is within a company and the signals you can notice when you have a feeling the environment does not fit you. Also she taught me about searching for your first job and that it is also okay if your first job does not work out as expected"

  • Brigitte & Juliana

    "Thanks to Juliana and Librae I have been able to get a clearer perspective on the different career paths for system & control engineers. This is helping me greatly to determine my first professional step."

  • Annelotte & Didi

    "Together with Didi I've been finding out for myself which companies could possibly suit me as potential employers. With her broad network she helps me to make connections with companies I am interested in."

  • Parastou & Amrita

    "I really appreciate being part of the Librae mentorship program, as it has given me many insights and tips, as well as access to a nice community of other mentees. I specifically enjoy speaking with my own mentor, Amrita Bhui, who was matched for me by the Librae Group, because she is wonderfully nice, successful, and incredibly humble. I am definitely learning a lot from her.”

  • Dorris & Elsemiek

    “What I mainly take away from the sessions is that it’s okay not to know exactly what you want yet. Making mistakes or just finding out that you want to go in a different direction is part of the process. Hearing this from someone with a similar background is supportive and motivating.”
