ODTUG WIT Mentorship Program Announcement
We’re excited to introduce the WIT Mentorship Program, which will help foster connections between community members who are looking to boost their professional growth. This is a great chance to make a personal connection and learn the skills needed to take your career to the next level. The ODTUG WIT team will be pairing interested participants and providing a framework for the initial conversation. After that, it’s up to the mentors and mentees to determine a schedule and mode of communication that works best for them. The program will run in three-month increments, with the first round spanning April 1– June 30. If you are interested in signing up as either a mentor or mentee, please fill out this form. In order to participate in the April 1–June 30 timeframe, submissions must be received by March 24. Any submissions received after that date will be rolled over to begin in July. Once we receive your submission, we will follow up via email with more details.
