2014 Fortune/State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership



 

 

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

2014 Fortune/State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership

The U.S. Embassy is seeking nominations for the Fortune/U.S. State Department Global Women's Mentoring Partnership, a mentoring program for emerging women leaders from around the world, taking place from March 24 to April 17, 2014. 

Fortune's Most Powerful Women mentors include CEOs and senior executives from American companies such as Wal-Mart, Time Inc., Goldman Sachs, Xerox, and other well-known, U.S.-based organizations.  The program provides participants with unique opportunities to develop their management and business skills while gaining experience in the U.S. business and non-profit environment. 

The program includes a four-day orientation and leadership skills training component in Washington, D.C.; an approximately two-week mentorship assignment; and a two-day communications training and debriefing in New York City.  The D.C. program will include meetings with USG officials, academics, and representatives of business associations. Following the D.C. orientation, the participants will travel individually to their company’s location, where a Fortune Most Powerful Woman and her team will mentor the participant. 

Profile of the ideal candidate:
Participants could include women who run their own businesses; work in middle/middle-upper management for non-U.S.-based corporations; or women who run business associations, foundations or non-governmental organizations.  Participants should welcome opportunities for mentoring and new partnership development, and should exhibit confidence and maturity.

Eligibility requirements:
·         Participation is limited to women between the ages of 25 and 43, who are the most likely to reach the top levels of their business or NGO sector.
·         Participants must have a very good command of the English language, including business-related terms, and must be able to converse freely in English with their fellow mentees and mentors.
·         The Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs seeks women leaders who may never have had the opportunity to travel to the United States; who may already be mentoring women and girls in their own communities; and who will make the most of this exchange opportunity.

For more information, please contact Cultural Affairs Assistant Austin Ngoma at Ext. 7407 and by email at ngomaa@state.gov or Deputy Public Affairs Officer Jennifer Lawson at Ext. 7099 or by email at lawsonje@state.gov.
Deadline for preliminary nominations:  Friday, November 29, 2013
