PDXWIT Presents: Become a Tech Mentor!

  • Cambia Health Solutions 1621 SW 1st Ave Portland, OR United States (map)

Are you a mentor, or looking for an opportunity to become one? Join us at Cambia Health as we dive into the PDXWIT Mentorship Program. You’ll hear from some of our current mentors about their experiences as part of the program, and our volunteer Mentor Team will explain what you can expect as you work with a mentee. 

As a mentor you’ll: 

  • Benefit from watching another person grow and develop

  • Develop your leadership skills 

  • Gain new understanding and perspective

  • Feel good about providing career support who otherwise may not have it

If you’re questioning whether you have enough experience to be a mentor, this is the event for you. We hope to see you there!
