Applications Now Available For WTS Mentoring Program

To provide support for those who work, or are interested in working in the transportation industry, WTS’s Puget Sound Chapter is offering a free nine-month mentoring program (open to both men and women). The Mentoring Program is open to people in all disciplines within the transportation industry, such as planners, engineers, construction management, marketing, operations, etc. This year’s program runs from October 2020 to June 2021 with group kick-off, mid-year and closing events.

APPLY by clicking on the following links for Mentees or Mentors to access the online applications. Applications are due SEPTEMBER 25, 2020 for all working Professionals and Seattle U Students. (Applications for UW Students will be accepted until OCTOBER 11, 2020.)

• Mentee Application: https://forms.gle/PThjNAjtjfY8bBCd8

• Mentor Application: https://forms.gle/F2Rt7igcobm6gFTZ8

You will be matched up with a mentor/mentee by the WTS Mentoring Committee and notified via email of your paring and be formally invited to the virtual kick-off event scheduled for October 27, 2020.

Please only apply if you are willing to commit to the nine-month program. Mentors and mentees will be responsible for meeting at least once a month on their own during the program – this can be face to face, on the phone, or virtually as agreed upon by each pair. We also ask that you make a special effort to attend each of the three planned events.
