The Women in Engineering and Geoscience Mentorship Program, which follows the upcoming academic year, groups engineering or geoscience students with an intern (EIT or GIT) and a licensed professional member to engage in a formal mentoring relationship. This unique program provides participants with opportunities to network with other engineers and geoscientists, hone their mentorship skills, and ultimately create a community of women in engineering and geoscience in Manitoba. An optional information session will be held on September 10, 2021 from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. via Zoom for those interested in learning more about expectations from participants. To learn more about the Women in Engineering and Geoscience Mentorship Program, please see our webpage. To register as a mentor or protégée, see the Mentorship Program Application Forms.
