About Mentorship WeCan

The Young Professionals Network Brunei (YPN Brunei) is a network setup as a platform to nurture personal and professional growth of young professionals in Brunei Darussalam through key initiatives such as networking, dialogue, mentorship and advocacy

As one of our key initiatives, Mentorship WeCan is to connect and develop young professionals for personal and professional development with mentors of rich and diverse experiences in different areas, fields and industry.

Frequently asked questions

What is mentorship?

The concept of mentorship is a structured relationship where a more experienced or knowledgeable person (the mentor) provides guidance, support, and advice to a mentee to help them grow personally and professionally.

What makes the YPN Mentorship WeCan series special?

Compared to other YPN initiatives, the mentoring session is intended to introduce mentees to industry mentors in a group of six to eight mentees. The mentoring session will be done up to two hours.

Do I have to commit to the same mentor for the next session?

Mentees are welcomed to try out different mentors, but you are expected to drive your own development conversations with your mentor of choice outside Mentorship WeCan. This comes back to YPN's mission to deliver an organic community of professionals that support each other genuinely.
