Mentorship Programs
Targeted mentorship programs for underrepresented groups — pairing emerging talent with senior leaders to accelerate career growth, build skills, and create pathways to leadership roles.
Mentorship Programs
LaabamOne's mentorship programs are intentionally designed to accelerate the careers of professionals from underrepresented backgrounds. By pairing high-potential talent with senior leaders across our India, Ireland, and Australia offices, we create cross-border learning relationships that develop both technical expertise and leadership capabilities.
Our flagship program, Elevate, runs in six-month cycles and pairs mentees with mentors outside their immediate team to broaden perspectives and expand internal networks. Each pair co-creates a development plan with specific goals around skill-building, visibility, and career progression — all tracked through our mentorship platform.
Beyond one-to-one mentorship, we offer group mentoring circles, reverse mentoring programs where junior employees coach senior leaders on emerging trends and generational perspectives, and sponsorship pathways where mentors actively advocate for their mentees' advancement in promotion and project-allocation decisions.
Key Highlights
Mentorship formats designed to develop talent and open leadership pathways.
Elevate Program
Our flagship six-month program pairing underrepresented talent with senior leaders for structured career development, skill-building, and network expansion.
Reverse Mentoring
Junior professionals mentor senior leaders on technology trends, generational insights, and lived experiences — creating two-way learning and empathy.
Group Circles
Peer-led mentoring circles of 6–8 professionals tackling shared career challenges, facilitated by experienced coaches for collective growth.
Sponsorship Track
Senior leaders actively advocate for mentees during promotion discussions, project allocations, and client-facing opportunities to accelerate visibility.
Mentorship With Measurable Impact
We measure mentorship effectiveness through promotion rates of program participants, engagement survey scores, and 360-degree feedback. Elevate alumni are promoted at twice the rate of non-participants, and 85% of mentees report increased confidence in pursuing leadership roles.
Cross-office pairings are a deliberate feature — a mentee in Madurai may be paired with a mentor in Melbourne, fostering global perspective and breaking down geographic silos that can limit career growth within a 500+ person organization.
