WORTH Mentorship Program Wraps Up
WORTH Association launched a mentorship program in January, 2020. A first for our industry, the program paired over 40 women from Whistler, Victoria and Vancouver. Our matches came with different backgrounds and experiences, but the one thing they all share in common is their love of the industry.
Over six months, the pairs connected in person, by phone, through text or virtually. With the guidance from their mentors, we saw women ask for pay increases, earn promotions, relocate and return to school. We felt especially grateful to our mentors who supported their proteges through the disruption caused by the pandemic.
We thank all the mentorship program participants. While the official end has come, we know you'll stay connected and continue to lift each other up. Stay tuned for more details on our 2021 intake!
“Being part of WORTH’s Mentorship program allowed me to give back what was given to me - solid advice on how to not back down in my career, and set myself on a trajectory to a senior role in the industry I love. It’s rewarding to watch someone with just as much gumption as I had, get what she wants.”
“When I signed up for the WORTH mentorship program, I thought it was just going to be great way to learn more about the industry and expand my circle. I was wrong... because it ended up being SO much more. They matched me up with a super cool woman who has been helping me iron out the wrinkles in my professional life, and even my personal life. Thanks to this mentorship program I now have a clear trajectory for my career path, the tools to become a leader in my field, and a new life-long friendship.”
