Mentoring Program

Want to Boost Your Career? Join the Women Data Professionals Mentoring Program!

Spring 2023 Program – Registration is OPEN for MENTORS ONLY until February 17, 2023!

EDM Council’s WDP (Women Data Professionals) forum is pleased to invite professional women with 20+ years experience to participate as mentors in the Spring 2023 Mentoring Program. The WDP Mentoring team believes that women who have mentors have a better chance of advancing their careers to the level they wish to achieve. We also believe learning from the experiences of others can help women better manage the challenge of balancing work and personal life!

The WDP Mentoring Program is focused on supporting women with work experience who are striving to advance their careers to the next level. The program will bring together groups of mentees and mentors into teams that will meet virtually three times during the spring season (March-June 2023), following a virtual kick-off event in March. Senior leaders from the EDM Council community will provide guidance and support on topics of interest provided by mentees.

Participants will commit to 5-6 hours over the course of 4 months from March to June, 2023. The program will run during US EST time zone hours. See FAQs for more information.

Eligibility for Mentees:

Women who have work experience and have a desire to learn from their peers.
REGISTRATION CLOSED

Eligibility for Mentors:

Individuals with 20+ years of work experience.
