About BeAMentor
Our Story
Our journey is a testament to the transformative power of mentorship. Guided by inspiring mentors who helped shape our paths, we are now driven to pay it forward. Be A Mentor (BEAM) is not just a community; it is a beacon of hope, illuminating the way for the next generation. We exist to rekindle aspirations that may have dimmed, empowering young minds to reach their fullest potential.
As top graduates from engineering schools, we entered junior roles at leading organizations, yet many of us remained stagnant for nearly a decade. Without guidance, frustration grew, and some even left their professions, disheartened by the gap between academic achievement and career progression. It became clear that to fix the "leaky pipeline" in industry, we needed to intervene earlier, ensuring that brilliance and talent are nurtured, not lost.
At BEAM, we are committed to breaking this cycle by offering the mentorship and inspiration needed to turn potential into progress.
