As a component of the Legrand Empowering Scholarship Program, we organize a bi-annual Scholar Connect program. This initiative is designed to provide a platform for students to share their experiences, network, and interact with senior leadership and subject matter experts. Additionally, we acknowledge the achievements of the mentees who successfully completed the Legrand Mentorship Program.
The Legrand Mentorship Program, an initiative of Legrand, is dedicated to empowering aspiring women to pursue higher education and thrive as future leaders in STEM fields. Launched in 2021, the program is aligned with its mission to provide comprehensive support to beneficiaries of the Legrand Empowering Scholarship Program, which includes meritorious and differently-abled girl students and transgender students. Through this initiative, mentees receive personalized guidance to navigate their academic and professional journeys.
Be it Engineering, Architecture, Finance, or Science courses, the mentorship sessions are tailored to equip mentees with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to excel in their chosen field.
The Legrand Mentorship Program provides a structured pathway for academically promising individuals pursuing diverse courses, ranging from B.Tech/BE/B.Arch. to disciplines like Science or Finance (BSc/BCom/BBA, etc.). Through a series of virtual sessions spanning four months, with one session each month, mentees are provided with opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with industry experts.
The Legrand Mentorship Program sees its mentors proactively and passionately adding value to the lives of mentees while aligning with the essence of the organization. This program helps scholars get mentoring support from Legrand employees for personal development. Each mentor is mapped to a mentee through a tech-based platform which involves career counseling and learning solutions.
In the inaugural batch, conducted in the academic year 2021-22, the program supported 50 mentees, providing them with invaluable guidance and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Since then, the program has continued to evolve. Through dedicated mentorship, the second batch in 2023-24 expanded its reach to 51 mentees, ensuring an even broader impact on the aspiring women leaders within the community.
Every individual must have the opportunity to fulfil their dreams, find their passion, and discover their purpose to have a successful and happy career. The Legrand Mentorship Program helps to educate students about what is important, both personally and professionally, while providing the necessary guidance, tools, skills, and experiences to have long and fulfilling careers during their academic journeys.

"Access to education is important for everyone, especially for transgender people since it brings acceptance and respect from society. Education makes us brave because we are able to differentiate between right and wrong and understand our purpose in life. I sincerely thank Legrand for the Legrand Empowering scholarship"
B.E. Computer Science (2nd year) Bidar, Karnataka, Legrand 2022 scholar
"So many girl students in our country have to quit education after Class 10 or 12. I believe that women are not meant to be just limited to household activities. No matter if you are differently abled, every girl should dream high, and initiatives like the Legrand Empowering Scholarship are empowering us to do the same!"
