The Royal Bank of Scotland has partnered with online mentoring platform Digital Boost Upskilling to launch a free mentor matchmaking service designed for Scottish women in business.
Known as MentorMatch, the new service is being developed in response to research which has revealed that more than half (53%) of female business owners in Scotland feel that a lack of opportunities to be mentored has prevented them from progressing in their career.
The latest findings follow the Rose Review, conducted by NatWest Group chief executive Alison Rose, which identified that a potential £250bn of new value could be added to the UK economy if women started and scaled new businesses at the same rate as men.
