The program\u2019s success will be supported by dedicated \u2018Coordinators\u2019 who will assist both mentees and mentors with any challenges they may identify.<\/p>\n<p>As the program close gets closer, a celebratory webinar will reflect on the initiative, with selected participants sharing their mentoring journey and lessons learned.
