About Inspire Mentoring Program

The Future Forte Inspire Mentoring Program is designed to harness the connection created at the FF conference and promote further meaningful relationship among students and professionals.

The program aims to foster professional and personal growth by facilitating one-on-one mentoring relationships between experienced professionals (mentors) and international students (mentees).

By matching them with professionals in their desired fields, we aim to facilitate knowledge exchange, career guidance, and networking opportunities that have been shown to be invaluable to international students who aspire to begin their career in Australia.

The Future Forte team will regularly check in with mentors and mentees to ensure the mentoring relationship is progressing smoothly. Support and resources will be provided to facilitate effective mentoring and engagement.
