Finding and building a relationship with a mentor is often cited as the most impactful resource a woman can have to propel her career forward. It is an important part of Women in Music’s work across the globe. Through “WIMentorship” women share their experiences, insights, and time as a way of creating real and lasting change.
The sponsorship gets underway in July and will see TRACE and Women in Music South Africa are exploring other ways of amplifying and supporting women working across all areas of the business.
