Bentley completes first phase of female mentoring programme

Bentley has successfully completed its first 'Extraordinary Women' mentorship programme, with the visit of five members of its first cohort to Bentley's headquarters in Cheshire.

The programme is designed to inspire the next generation of female talent and has engaged female students in the fields of technology, engineering, design and business, at partner universities in the U.K. and the Middle East.

During a week-long programme of activity, the students had the opportunity to explore various aspects of Bentley's manufacturing operations in Crewe, learn more about products and business strategy, join panel talks with senior leaders and trainees from Bentley's early careers cohort and pitch their project ideas to colleagues from the Sales and Marketing team.  

This was the first of an ongoing initiative from Bentley, which aims to inspire and educate generations of young women across the globe and to help equip them to take up leadership positions in their chosen professional field. The next chapter of Extraordinary Women will soon be introduced in Saudi Arabia.
