At Derek Bruce Associates we want to make a difference to society, and one of the areas we can influence is to support Black professionals in their careers. And by Black professionals, we mean people of African descent who have started their careers, and who are either first-jobbers, established in a career and /or entrepreneurs and business owners.
This is why we created the Extraordinary Mentors Network (EMN). Via the EMN, we want to build an effective and strong global network where Black professionals and their Mentors help each other succeed professionally and personally. Our focus is to provide access to the EMN either on a free or minimal investment basis, to give support to Black professionals in whichever stage they are at in their careers.
Our Mentors are from a variety of industries, backgrounds and they have all volunteered to give their time to support the EMN. This, coupled with our focus on matching the right Mentee with the right Mentor, gives us the confidence that we will support Black professionals in giving them a ‘step up’ in their careers.
