At present, women are under-represented in senior roles in STEMM. There is a recognised need for a transformative, systemic and sustained change in these sectors. The Catalyse Mentorship Program focuses on building sustainable female leadership for women working in health and STEMM (science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine) in the Northern Territory.
Mentees will connect with mentors who will be able to provide support, leadership and guidance to help progress their careers. Mentees will also have the opportunity to participate in targeted professional and personal development workshops.
Up to 20 mentees will be selected through a competitive application process - a selection panel will consider application and select candidates based on the following criteria:
- demonstrated need for professional development and mentorship
- expected impact on or contribution to applicant’s career journey
- realistic expectation of the program
- commitment to the program and to own professional development pathway.
For more information and to apply for the program, go to the Menzies School of Health Research website.
Applications close 25 September 2023.
