PWC Mentor Program
The PWC National Mentor Program is in its second decade of being a fully volunteer run program. It is open to all FAA employees at any point in their career and at any grade level. Those in the local commuting area of Washington D.C. benefit from in person participation. Others are welcome to join via teleconference. Whether you are new to the FAA or a seasoned employee, the PWC National Mentor Program might be what you need!
The purpose of PWC National Mentor Program is to promote a culture within FAA that actively supports and provides development opportunities for FAA employees. With an increased commitment of individual workers, together we enhance our professional skills and have a better-prepared, better trained, safer, diverse workforce.
Applications are being accepted for mentees and mentors until October 30, 2020 for the 2021 Professional Women Controllers (PWC) Mentor Program. Mentorship is an incredibly rewarding experience made easy by the flexible and supportive structure of the PWC National Mentor Program.
