THE YPG MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Launched in 2015, the YPG Mentorship Programme was created to bridge the gap between young professionals and ISWA’s senior experts, including members of the Board and the Scientific and Technical Committee. Through this initiative, you will have the chance to receive tailored advice on your career development, technical guidance, and insights into the latest trends and challenges in the waste management sector.

The programme is flexible and tailored to each mentor-mentee pair. You can agree on the frequency and mode of communication—whether it’s online meetings, calls, or emails. Typical topics include: career advice; technical information; networking; and, feedback on projects or applications.
