WCE Calgary hosted our first Mentorship Event, an evening for those working in the engineering consulting industry of all experience levels and backgrounds to mingle and share experiences. Facilitating mentorship connections between women is one of WCE’s core values and is a key factor in increasing gender diversity and inclusion in our industry.

During registration, Mentees chose preferred topics for discussion and were seated with Mentors in small groups. Attendees participated in lively group discussions over appetizers and drinks, in three 25-minute sessions. Participants had the opportunity to seek guidance, advice, and support from senior women in engineering.

Through our informal approach to mentorship, we will seek to provide ongoing opportunities for developing organic mentorship connections at our events throughout the year.
