The American Chamber of Commerce of TT (Amcham TT) is calling on companies to invest more deliberately in mentorship programmes as a strategic part of building stronger, more equitable, and resilient organisations.

Amcham TT president Anna Henderson made the call while delivering opening remarks at the virtual launch of the 8th Annual Amcham TT and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Women in Leadership Mentorship Programme (WILMP) recently.

“I want to make a broader appeal to leaders and organisations across TT: we must all invest in mentorship – not as a ‘nice-to-have,’ but as a strategic imperative. When we create mentorship programmes within our organisations, we are not only developing talent – we are dismantling barriers. We are challenging our own biases. And we are building a future where gender equity is not aspirational, but operational.”
