Women in the Workforce hosted it’s first event of the 2020 series on February 28th which was a speed mentoring event!
The Speed Mentoring event was a riff on speed dating that allowed early career professionals (or those looking to make a change or re-enter the workplace) to meet multiple mentors in a short time. Attendees had the opportunity to meet with mentors on a variety of topics and ask them questions and possibly meet a mentor.
