eMentorConnect has announced a new partnership with the Women in Automotive network to empower more women into leadership roles in the industry.
“We are pleased to announce this next giant step in our mission to empower women in the automotive industry by launching the WomenPowered Mentoring platform,” stated Jody DeVere, Co-Founder of Women in Automotive. “This platform will enable industry-wide mentoring for women seeking to grow their careers in their respective roles with the help of respected industry thought-leaders; both men and women, as mentors.”
Together, eMentorConnect and Woman in Automotive will:
- Enhance the mentoring journey of women in automotive.
- Provide assistance to women without access to professional development resources.
- Connect Members/Mentees to Mentors across the automotive industry.
EMPOWERING WOMEN IN AUTO
Women in Automotive was founded by six industry female leaders, in partnership with JKR Advertising out of Orlando, six years ago. The organisation aims to improve the entire automotive industry by elevating the role of women.
“Women in Automotive is an exceptional organisation to bring under the eMentorConnect umbrella as it continues to build on one of our key tenants to support the delivery of mentoring programmes aimed to advance women in leadership,” explained Nancy Wolk, Co-Founder of eMentorConnect. “The scalable capabilities of the eMentorConnect platform, coupled with the impressive Women in Automotive board, volunteers and members, will achieve their goal to champion the advancement of women in the automotive industry.”
The partnership is a welcome initiative for an industry that is still failing to attract and retain women, especially in management and senior roles, as reported.
