Mentorship Program
SwissCham Singapore is joining the 2025 edition of the Damenwahl Mentoring Program—an initiative focused on fostering professional growth and personal development for talents across diverse industries, which is chaired by our member Krisztina Gruetter.
We are proud to be part of this impactful program, which connects mentees with experienced mentors to exchange knowledge, gain new perspectives, and build valuable professional networks. Through this collaboration, SwissCham aims to contribute to empowering the next generation of leaders while strengthening ties across our business community.
Who is it for?
The program is open to individuals seeking personal and professional growth, with a focus on career development and integration into the local business environment. It also offers opportunities for community engagement and regular networking events.

Program Guidelines
Goal Setting: In the first one-on-one meeting, mentors and mentees will define a clear framework — including status quo, goals, expectations, and needs. Goals should follow the SMART format: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
Monthly Meetings: Ideally once a month, either in person or online (minimum of 3 meetings over the 6-month program).
Mid-Term Check-In: A brief check-in with the program coordinator to ensure both parties are satisfied.
Conflict Resolution: In the event of major issues, the program coordinator should be contacted for support.
