The impacts of globalisation, technological advancement, climate change and now COVID-19 challenge organisations to find ways to contribute to sustainable leadership, while working towards gender equality. One strategy to build a foundation for successful leadership is to engage young women and girls at an early age or stage in their career and create networking opportunities through mentoring. Studies have shown that a good mentoring program can help young women and girls become successful in their field of interest as well as excel in leadership. (STEMconnector, 2019)
