What is speed mentoring?
A Speed Mentoring event consists of a series of short, round-table discussions facilitated by one volunteer mentor and up to three mentees.
Form new connections with both mentors and mentees from a diverse set of backgrounds.
Explore how having a mentor could support you and your career.
Gather a range of new perspectives on a challenge you are currently facing.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion are important to WCT and our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space to connect.
How will speed mentoring work online?
Similar to how it would in person. After we all meet together, you’ll be allocated to a virtual room with a mentor and up to two other mentees. You’ll have 15 minutes to ask questions and hear advice from your mentor, then you’ll have a new mentor for 15 minutes and so on.
Share your wisdom and experience by being a mentor yourself
Mentoring is a great way to share your wisdom and develop your own leadership skills. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please email BC@wct-fct.com to learn how.
