Becoming a mentor means you are actively taking part in advocating for breaking the Bamboo Ceiling, and you are helping young Chinese-Australians in being feeling more empowered and confident in the workplace
We want the best experience mentees. Thus, we have created guidelines for mentors to be part of this program. Once you have filled in the form and we have approved your application, you will be sent badges, Linkedin posts and other goodies to promote on your Linkedin pages.
Fill in form to become a mentor- You are Chinese-Australian
- Have at least 5 years of experience in your industry
- Able to dedicate at least 1-2 hours a week mentoring
- Have interest in diversity in the workplace, and is comfortable with sharing your own story and helping fresh graduates in their career journey.
Tell the world you're a mentor by changing into your Linkedin profile picture badge, posting online and telling the world you are a mentor.
You could even extend this to the real world through wearing the physical badge we will be sending to you, so mentees can reach out to you outside of Linkedin.
P.s. You can choose the section you're mentoring in, so you can be an expertise in mentoring one section, or if you are an expert in all, mentor in all of them! Each section should span approximately 45-60 minutes.
Help potential mentees to understand you better by adding a self introduction of your background and experiences.
Young Chinese-Australians might then reach out to you once seeing your post. You are to decide whether or not to take them in as mentees or not.
Once paired with a mentee, mentor using our toolkit provided.

This section explores on how cultural upbringing and values influence you and the way you interact with others.
This section of the toolkit helps mentees evaluate leadership goals so they have confidence to become the leader they want to become.
This section explores on organisational influences of the bamboo ceiling and workplace discrimination.
"Break the Bamboo" is a mentorship toolkit for experienced Chinese-Australians to mentor younger Chinese-Australians so they can fight through the Bamboo Ceiling in Australia.
