Alltech has continued its collaboration with Expana's Women in Food & Agriculture (WFA) Mentorship Programme, which has been successful in matching more than 1,500 professionals, creating meaningful rela tionships that foster career growth and leadership development in the food and agriculture sectors
The programme aims to provide mentorship opportunities that help in supporting women across the global food and agriculture sectors. The initiative not only empowers women at various career stages but also addresses the critical shortage of mentors, which is considered a sector-wide challenge across the industry. This growing initiative tackles this issue by encouraging individuals with a range of experience and backgrounds to apply to be a mentor.
"Mentorship is not a one-way street- it’s a collaborative journey that benefits both mentor and mentee. Everyone who takes part finds it incredibly rewarding," said Patrick Charlton, vice president of Europe at Alltech and a former mentor in the programme. "There are talented women out there looking to grow their careers; they simply need guidance and support. You can be part of that change."
The mentorship programme is open to individuals seeking mentorship as well as industry professionals interested in offering their mentorship services. Applications for the free-to-join programme are now open. The programme welcomes applications from across the global food and agriculture sector, and applicants will be personally matched based on their preferences and professional objectives.
