Mentoring Programme

The Young ICCA Mentoring Programme is the first structured mentoring programme established within the international arbitration community. The programme was pioneered by ICCA and Young ICCA in 2011, and is now in its 11th cycle.

Taking Part

The Young ICCA Mentoring Programme provides a unique platform for young professionals to connect with and learn from the experience of more senior members of the arbitration community, including members of ICCA’s Governing Board. Members of Young ICCA may apply to participate in the Mentoring Programme at the start of each new cycle.

 

Applications for the twelfth cycle of the Mentoring Programme, commencing in 2025, will open in July/August 2024.

 

If you have any questions about the Mentoring Programme you can email the Programme Co-Directors at mentoring@youngicca.org.

Meet the Mentors

The Young ICCA Mentoring Programme would not be possible without the support and investment of its Mentors. Young ICCA wishes to extend its gratitude to the many prominent practitioners who have and continue to provide young practitioners with invaluable guidance throughout the 8th and 9th cycles of the Young ICCA Mentoring Programme.
