What is Lucy?

Lucy is an innovative leadership program with a primary focus on undergraduate women in university studying business, finance, accounting and law. The Program inspires, motivates and educates women about the opportunities available for employment and leadership in the public and private sectors. 

Over a period of weeks, mentors and students will work together on a small work related project while also attending some larger group sessions to meet and learn from other program participants. The Program will include an Introductory Information Session followed by a Work Based Activity, totalling 35 hours in the Mentor’s workplace, and organised to suit individual Mentor-Student commitments. The Final Session will review and provide an opportunity to hear about WBA outcomes and mentoring experiences. Mentor and student kits will be provided to participants outlining respective roles and responsibilities and guidance to complete the Program.

The Mentoring Relationship

Mentors are selected on the basis of their life and work experience in the corporate or public sectors and willingness to share their time, skills and workplace with a student. Mentors are generally senior managers and are recruited from the finance, accounting, business and legal sectors.

Second and subsequent year students are recruited through an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. Applicants indicate areas of professional interest and these are matched as closely as possible with the mentor’s area of expertise.
