FEMTOR – The Mentorship Club
FEMTOR- The Mentorship Club supports women members through different stages in their careers and helps them realize their full potential. FEMTOR is a volunteer-led program for as well as by the women members of CFA Society India.
The club aspires to build a community to:
- Foster practical discussions on professional and personal matters
- Network with industry role models, develop the snowball effect and grow one’s sphere of influence
- Find a way for women members to stay in the profession, not just to survive but to thrive
- Promote “Career-Self Reliance”
The club is open to all CFA Society India women members and is designed to pair mentors and mentees to work together and achieve specific goals. Our endeavor is to create mentor-mentee relationships between early to mid-career women charterholders and senior charterholders whereby the latter can provide invaluable and unbiased career-advancing guidance and support to the younger cohort.
The applications for mentors and mentees for the 2024-25 program are now open!
