First Nations-led collective Ember Connect empowering Indigenous women through digital mentoring program

A First Nations-led collective is delivering economic empowerment for Indigenous women through a nationwide, digital online mentoring program.

Perth-based company Ember Connect developed the mentoring initiative after receiving a Social Enterprise Grant from Indigenous Business Australia (IBA).

One of the main aims of the program is to increase the employment, social, and economic benefits for First Nations women, no matter how remote the participants may be.

So far, 46 women from around Australia have been matched with a mentor, based on their life experience, employment, education, industry and skill sets and even their future aspirations.
