The Mentorship Programme was divided into five categories – Finance, Human Resources, Marketing, Manufacturing, and Sales. To give consumers an equal opportunity for mentorship, Clorets announced the programme across its social media pages and shortlisted the top 100 candidates.

The Finalists were interviewed virtually by Dr Dipo Awojide and Jobberman Nigeria; the recommended candidates were selected as Mentees. After three months of mentorship, the lives of these young professionals have been transformed. The Sales Mentee, Rosemary Meziem has transitioned from Sales to Finance through the guidance of her Mentor. Deborah Ajayi, HR Mentee, landed a job as an HR Executive.
