The Rise mentoring program encourages and supports the career development and progression of employees with a disability, and builds inclusive leadership skills for mentors.

The first program to be piloted, Mentoring Program for Employees with a Disability, is designed to be highly engaging and innovative. In addition to personalised goal setting and connection activities, there is also a reverse mentoring component, whereby the mentee can share their lived experiences about the challenges and barriers that they may face in the workplace with the aim of improving their mentor’s understanding of disability, accessibility and inclusion.
