Mentorship
Women in Defense New England Shoreline Chapter (WID-NESC) Mentorship Program
WID-NESC’s Mentorship Program was established in 2011 as a resource for our members. The program provides members with an opportunity to advance and develop their career and interpersonal skills by interacting with mentors of varying career levels. We believe in the significant value associated with the ability to network and strengthen relationships that develop into valuable resources. We aim to capture that value and provide it to those who are interested.
For more information about our mentorship program, please reach out to one of our board members. We’ll provide you with a mentorship form so we can match you with an appropriate mentor.
