Successfully established since 2009 - Mentoring is a Cornerstone of PWN’s offerings

Mentoring is a voluntary developmental relationship between an expert (Mentor) who is willing to share her/his knowledge and experiences with one or more people (Mentees) wanting to learn and profit from guidance to develop their personal or professional skills (Mentees).
PWN’s mission is to create Gender Balanced Leadership.  Mentoring is a method proven to help more women advance in their careers and into leadership positions.

Code of Ethics

PWN Vienna, like many other organizations, is committed to maintaining and promoting excellent practice in mentoring. We are building our Mentor Program in a step by step process around a recognized professional framework. EMCC is one of the leading global organizations in the mentoring field. One of our next steps is to adopt the Global Code of Ethics set out by the European Mentor and Coaching Council. We anticipate that you can identify with the 

Code of Ethics as it relates to mentors and mentoring (it also applies to those who coach or supervise). We, therefore, ask all our participants to sign the Code of Ethics as part of our shared commitment and desire to conduct our mentoring work in a professional manner.
The EMCC Code of Ethics was updated in late 2025, you can find the newly published version here: https://globalcodeofethics.org/
