Mentor For Conducts Mentorship Training for Female Leaders

In a significant move towards gender equality and empowerment in the oil and gas sector, Mentor For, a Tokyo-based company dedicated to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), conducted a mentorship training program for female leaders from oil-producing nations. This initiative took place under the auspices of the Japan Cooperation Center for the Petroleum and Natural Gas (JCCP), aimed at fostering leadership among women in the Middle East.

A Vision for Empowerment

Founded in November 1981, JCCP operates as a vital organization supporting the exchange of knowledge and technology in the petroleum and natural gas sectors, with backing from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Their ongoing efforts include not only training and expert dispatch but also creating opportunities for professional development through various programs.

Mentor For has been pioneering mentorship programs since 2018, focusing on nurturing female leaders within organizations. The program has gained traction as an effective strategy for encouraging women's advancement and establishing effective mentorship systems. Recognizing the importance of mentorship, particularly across national borders, they aimed to leverage this to enhance female leadership and career development in the oil-producing countries of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait.
