PACE Mentoring is a free industry mentoring program where jobseekers with disability are connected with a mentor from a leading Australian organisation.

Apply for one of our two intakes!

PACE recognises that jobseekers with disability frequently experience difficulty finding work. If you're currently looking for work or completing your studies, now is the time to get connected with a supportive professional mentor to discuss your career goals. Our mentors work across many industries for established Australian businesses.ย 

This year, be paired with a mentor from one of the following organisations: ANZ Bank, SBS, Nestle, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, Rabobank, Accenture, Arup Group, Cummins, Hall & Wilcox, RMIT, Shell, Dentons, WPC Group, NSW Department of Customer Service.

Over the four-months of PACE Mentoring, mentees and mentors will meet around 6-8 times.ย  During meetings, mentees can develop their professional communication skills, refine their cover letter and resume writing alongside learning how to answer key criterion for roles. Mentees will have the opportunity to practice interview techniques and build confidence.

Face-to-face mentoring opportunities are available across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Adelaide and some regional areas. There are also virtual mentoring opportunities for students and jobseekers based in other locations across Australia.
