2026-2027 WTS COLUMBUS MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
Are you new to the industry and want some guidance? Did you take on a new role within your organization and have new challenges? Would you like to provide guidance and advice on how young professionals can advance their careers? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the WTS Mentorship Program is for you!
The WTS Mentorship program is a one-on-one program open to both male and female members within the WTS Columbus Chapter. Eligibility extends to both WTS members and employees of Columbus Chapter Corporate Partners, Public Agency Partners, or Non-Profit Partners. The year-long program will match mentors and mentees with similar goals. All participants (mentors and mentees) must apply and attend an in-person kick-off event on June 24th. Click here to complete your application now! Applications consist of a few questions about your goals for the program and biographical information for your pairing profile. Applications will be accepted through June 5th, 2026.
The program will kick off with a "Speed Networking" event on June 24th from 4:30-6:30p at Flint Station (225 Park Rd, Columbus, OH 43235) in which the mentors and mentees will get to know each other in more detail and rank their pairing preferences. Based on the rankings, mentoring pairs will be assigned and you will be off to the races.
The frequency, location, topics discussed, etc. will be determined within each mentorship pairing. We encourage monthly meetings and can provide guidance and direction with topics if needed. The mutually rewarding relationship of the mentor and mentee is led by their own schedule, needs, and bond. There may be a few smaller group meetings or roundtable discussions with other participants scheduled during the year.
Previous mentorship program participants are welcome to participate again. You are always welcome to reach out to your previous mentor/mentee and continue that relationship as well!
