Looking for help crafting your career path? Or someone to talk to who’s in the industry?

Wired Woman Society has Mentorship Programs in Toronto and Vancouver.

What is Mentorship? 

Mentorship is the process of harnessing experience and knowledge and sharing it with others. It is about people learning from each other and applying the learning. Mentorship is a nurturing process, which provides the opportunity for more experienced individuals, to share their professional knowledge and expertise with others who are less experienced. A mentor is someone who helps individuals reach their potential by guiding and encouraging them to excel and grow. A mentor inspires, counsels and encourages the mentee in developing their vision for the future and skills needed to advance on a career path. A mentee gains insight and access to new skills and knowledge through the mentor’s example and support.
