The programme was designed by WIM Senior Members who are reputed professionals. Archana Rai, Nilani Seneviratne, Ramya Weerakoon and Shanika Ranaweera. The overview was given by Dr. Sulochana Segera Chairperson of Women in Management.

This Mentoring program combined a system of semi-structured guidance (whereby sharing knowledge, skills and experience to assist others to progress was done along with theoretical inputs to substantiate the tips provided). Personalized one on one session was also offered as a value adds to the participants.
