Panel Discussion: Why Women Need Mentorship in the Workplace

Women have proven they’re just as talented and capable as their male counterparts in the C-suite, board rooms, middle-management, and on-the-road among professional drivers. However, the transportation industry still needs to make significantly more progress toward gender diversity and inclusion in these areas. 

One primary reason women are limited in their career opportunities is a lack of mentorship. While you can take advantage of such mentoring programs as WIT’s Mentor Match Program, there are a number of active steps you can take to leverage mentor/mentee relationships.
