Reach Mentoring, one of the first non-profit organizations that provide mentorship and leadership skills to women in the Middle East, just partnered up with Bahrain-based corporate and financial communications consultancy, FinMark Communications, in order to support and empower professional women in Bahrain.
This partnership was announced at a roundtable discussion on the importance and benefits of structured professional mentorship, which was organized by Tamkeen.
Experts who took part in the discussion include Ahmed Hassan Janahi Manager of Community Engagement, Esam Hammad Senior Manager of Partnerships & Advisory Services, Laudy Lahdo Board Member of Reach, Zahra Taher General Manager of FinMark Communications.
According to the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two parties, FinMark Communications will be Reach’s official networking partner in Bahrain with the Strategic Partnership of Tamkeen. This includes the enrolment of mentors and mentees in the Reach mentoring program and facilitating professional networking events.
So how does the Reach program work? The mentors and mentees are paired through an algorithm based online platform that matches the participants based on their interests, goals, objectives, communication styles, development objectives, and personality traits.
