HRIA Women in Hire Development Program

The Women in Hire Development Program is the first of its kind in our industry. Launched at our National convention in May 2018, the program is designed to give women opportunities to develop their leadership skills, build confidence and pursue a successful career within our industry. There are also opportunities outside of the Mentoring Program for networking and development.

What to expect

The Women in Hire Development Program focuses on building confidence and catering for the individual needs of each mentee. The program runs over an 10-month period and consists of 5 face to face workshops running for approximately 4 hours each. Participants will be invited to attend networking events with the Young Professionals as well as attend additional Zoom sessions including the annual International Women’s Day webinar. Successful applicants will matched to a mentor who is a leader in our industry and will be there to share their industry-specific knowledge, experience and skills, provide guidance and support, and help you achieve goals.

Why apply?

The Women in Hire Development Program provides an opportunity to develop new skills and expertise that will enhance your role within your business. By gaining access to independent and objective perspectives of industry leaders, you’ll build your confidence in dealing with colleagues, managers and others in the industry, improve your networking and communication skills, learn how to set goals, develop your resilience and take the next step in your career.
