March 6, 2023
Toronto, ON – This International Women’s Day, tellent Services Inc. is putting allyship front and center with the launch of ELLEumni Champions, a career growth mentorship program designed to accelerate women’s access to jobs and opportunities. It’s time to go beyond advice and knowledge sharing and on to action – through facilitating direct connections to key decision makers. This is not a typical mentorship program.
ELLEumni Champions flips the mentorship program script by asking the mentors to take an active ally role and “Champion” their mentee’s efforts to accelerate her career. The mentees in this program are all graduates of The Propeller Experience, a career development program designed specifically to amplify the professional potential of women.
ELLEumni Champions addresses the need for equity in recruiting and career management practices in the workforce. It encourages men and women in influential corporate roles to become an active ally in helping an experienced, professional woman secure the career role, and compensation, she deserves.
Jennifer Hargreaves, Founder of tellent Services Inc. and creator of The Propeller Experience and ELLEumni Champions, is on a mission to remove gender equity barriers and align talented women with organizations that share their vision of diversity.
“We believe everyone has potential to build a career that aligns with what they want. We also know it is harder for some, than others, to achieve their version of success.
So while we have progressed the individual opportunities for women and other marginalized genders across Canada through our programming, there is more we can do through active allyship to accelerate our mission,” says Jenny.
ELLEumni, is a showcase of the incredible women who have gone through The Propeller Experience and are ready for their next career adventure. ELLEumni is flipping the script on the job search process and putting the power back into the hands of the candidate, to drive their career their way. If an organization is interested in hiring one of these women, they need to be ready for some competition; employers must apply to the candidates for the opportunity to schedule an interview.
Individuals and corporate leadership teams are challenged to step up to become an ELLEumni Champion. If you wish to pledge your time and champion an ELLEumni member visit wearetellent.com/champions for more details.
