I was interested in having an external mentor to help me through my transition from private sector to public, as well as options for career progression. WIG matched me with a mentor who was a perfect fit and since we were introduced to each other, I have had tremendous value from the relationship even in the short time so far. It is a valuable experience that I would highly recommend.’
