Women in Aviation launches mentor program

By General Aviation News Staff · June 23, 2023 ·

Women in Aviation International (WAI) has launched its new Mentor Connect program.

Designed to connect aspiring WAI members with seasoned aviation professionals, Mentor Connect “aims to foster meaningful mentorship relationships that will empower and support women in achieving their aviation career goals across all segments of the aviation industry,” WAI officials said.

Built on the Guider-AI platform, Mentor Connect provides a forum where women, regardless of their experience level, can connect with mentors who possess the knowledge and insights necessary to guide them through their aviation journey. The program makes connections across a wide range of aviation disciplines, including pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers, mechanics, and more.

“Mentoring is a key part of the WAI experience because it plays a crucial role in developing the next generation of female leaders in aviation, across all aviation disciplines,” said Allison McKay, WAI CEO. “By connecting experienced professionals with WAI members seeking growth, inspiration, and advice, we can bridge the gap and provide the guidance and support needed to overcome challenges and provide our members assistance as they climb to new heights in their careers.”

WAI members can join the Mentor Connect program at WAI.org/Mentor-Connect.
