Mentorship
Please note the WESNO mentorship program is currently on pause but check out
our new guidance and stay tuned for events!
Here at WESNO, we are continually evolving to provide the best support for women sustainability professionals in Ottawa. From 2020 to 2023, we implemented a formal mentorship program, pairing mentors and mentees based on shared interests and specific needs. While some of these matches thrived, many matches proved short-term, and we recognized areas for growth and adaptation.
As a result we have decided to pause the program while we consider how to improve. In the meantime check out our WESNO Mentorship Program Guidebook which will serve as a valuable resource, demonstrating the lasting benefits of mentorship
and providing you with the tools to continue fostering meaningful connections and growth.
Understanding the critical importance of mentorship, we are transitioning to a more dynamic and sustainable model supported by information sessions and guidance documents. This new approach empowers mentees to build and nurture multiple mentorship relationships, ensuring they have access to diverse guidance and support. Simultaneously, we aim to equip mentors to give back effectively, sharing their expertise and offering meaningful insights to help early-career professionals navigate their journey toward success.
