BENEFIT – Professional Development and Networking
TLC – ” Show up to Teach and Learn and always always….Communicate authentically”
– Juliann Edwards
Vision
The U.S. Women in Nuclear Professional Development Committee initiated a pilot program for mentoring within the U.S. WIN organization for those individuals who wish to gain the benefits mentoring and being mentored can offer.
Pilot Program Goals
A) Pair experienced nuclear professionals with less experienced nuclear professionals or students.
B) Share lessons learned, anecdotes, OPEX, etc. relating to time in industry or academia.
C) Set and complete goals using a tracking system for accountability and sharing purposes.
D) Collect actionable feedback from program participants and use lessons learned to enhance the program prior to large-scale implementation across U.S. WIN.
About Us
The Professional Development Committee launched the U.S. WIN Auxiliary Mentoring Program at the U.S. WIN 2021 Annual Conference. We have 18 pairings participating in the pilot program. The pilot program requires a 12-month commitment with a monthly commitment of approximately one hour.
The purpose of the program is to provide personal development, build a learning culture, build connections and community within the mentoring network, develop leadership skills, support diversity and inclusivity, develop self-confidence and self-awareness.
What the program means to me: Women Empowering Women to Lead with Confidence
