ATHENA WIN Aspiring Leaders Program - Mentee Application

As part of ATHENA WIN's mission to advance women leaders in the Lasing region, this program is a great opportunity for you to connect with a mentor who can offer you insight, advice, opportunity – and help you navigate the next stage/s of your career. (FYI, in studies, it has been shown that employees with mentors are 5x more likely to get promoted).

What is a mentee or as we like to say, an aspiring leader? An aspiring leader is defined as an individual in the early stages of her career with less than 3-5 years in a supervisory position or one who has an interest in pursuing a leadership position within her organization. There are no age barriers when it comes to leading.
