Mentoring program for women in Amsterdam, Netherlands

The mentorship program takes 6 months and you’ll receive up to 12 hours of mentoring from your mentor. We recommend meeting your mentor for 1 hour once in 2 weeks, but it’s up to you and your mentor how you schedule it.

We accept into the Amsterdam remote mentoring program only people who can set their professional goals and are serious about their professional development. Not sure if you are fit for the programme? Schedule consultations with us.

First, you have to fill out an application form. It takes only 2-3 minutes. In the application, you have to schedule an interview with our Program Manager. You'll receive a calendar invite for this call via Calendly. If you haven't received it, check your spam folder or contact us at mentoring@femmepalette.com.
‍
The next step is to submit your payment. You can pay either by card, or receive an invoice and pay via bank transfer. If for some reason you can't pay right away, you can skip this step and pay after the interview with the Program Manager.
‍
During the interview with the Program Manager you will discuss your career challenges, goals for mentoring and your ideal mentor profile.
‍
When your payment is finalized, we will start looking for mentor for you!

Yes! This is a very personalised program and we work hard at finding the best mentor for your own particular goals and challenges. We offer mentoring programmes to women in Amsterdam working in any industry.

We’re excepting applications to the program anytime. After we receive your payment, we reserve up to 3 weeks to find a mentor for you. In many cases, you’ll get matched with your mentor within a week from when we received your payment.

When we match mentees with mentors, we are aware of the goals that you have filled into the application. We, then, discuss your application with your potential mentor to see if they think you are a good fit for them and if they can help you with your goals.

We take into account your request for a mentor when you fill in the application. Although you can’t select a specific mentor, we make sure that we match you with the best possible mentor for your goals.

After you meet your mentor for the first time, you can let us know if you think that the mentor is not a good fit for you and request a rematch. The mentor can do the same.

We have 2 payment options. You can either submit your payment upfront (this option is 5% cheaper), or you can split your payment into 3 installments. The installments will be deducted automatically from your card for the first 3 months of the program.

We use Stripe to allow you to pay with a card right away. You can also pay via bank transfer to our bank account. In both cases, you’ll receive an invoice from us. Please read our refund policy here.

The discounted price is funded through our scholarship fund and is for any individuals who are purchasing the program by themselves. You can also use your learning budget, Benefit plus or Sodexo card for this option. Your name will be on the invoice. 
‍
The standard price is for everyone who gets the program covered by their company and needs an invoice with the company details. This is the regular price of the program. 

If you work in HR and want to send your colleague(s) to the program, please contact us at contact@femmepalette.com to receive our offer for companies. 

Yes! Full-time undergraduate or graduate students, parents on parental leave, and employees of non-profit organizations get 15% off. If you're eligible for the discount, please select this option when you fill out your program application.

The mentors can choose if they want to be paid or mentor pro-bono. We have a mentor tiering system in place that rewards the mentors who keep mentoring with us. The mentors can earn different benefits, starting with mentor spotlights on our social media to donating their earned reward to our scholarship fund (50-90% of the fee). The experience is also rewarding for the mentors in a different way as we provide them with opportunities to gain mentoring skills, as well as give them access to networking opportunities in the online mentor community.

You can join the remote mentoring programme for women in the Netherlands from any location! Mentors in our scheme are situated in the major cities (Amsterdam, London, Prague, Berlin), but many of them offer mentoring remotely and spread all over the world, including USA. In case you are not located in any of these cities, you can only attend your mentoring session online and complete the full mentorship program remotely.

You can! While this program is promoted as a mentoring program for women, we're open and welcome anyone, no matter what gender! If you're transgender or non-binary, our mentoring program will be a good fit for you. We also believe that men also need support and can learn from our mentors.
