The program runs for six months, from March to September each year.
You will receive one-to-one mentoring from a mentor with more than five years of industry experience, who is passionate about supporting the next generation of women studying engineering. The program allows you to grow your network, gain personalised advice, and plan your career.
More women than ever are choosing to enter engineering at university, and the University of Sydney has the highest percentage of female engineering students in NSW.
Women continue to face adversity once they enter the workforce, but we want to support you to face these challenges by offering mentoring and skills that will help prepare you to succeed.
Through events and coffee catch ups you can grow your skills and professional networks and gain invaluable advice and insights to help you as you look to enter the workforce.

You are eligible to apply if you are a current engineering student and you will remain enrolled for the duration of the program.
There are no Weighted Average Mark (WAM) requirements, and we particularly encourage you to apply if you have experienced difficulties in your studies or have a low WAM.

We will assess your application, and if you are shortlisted you may be invited to attend an interview. The interview will assess your suitability and goals for the program.
