2024 WLPD Year in Review

MENTORTECH

MentorTech allows campus staff and faculty the opportunity to connect with a professional partner to complete a year-long mentoring partnership. Connecting participants from all over campus, this program has 176 employees currently participating with 581 contact hours reported. In partnership with the Enterprise Innovation Institute, a program was created specifically for this community. This brought 12 mentoring partnerships for EI2 staff to continue building their skills and network.

“The mentoring program reaffirms the value of building relationships within the Georgia Tech community. I have genuinely enjoyed getting to know my mentoring partner and learn from them. It has been an enriching experience.”

This year, the program increased and enhanced its communication efforts with monthly email campaigns, including topics and resources to discuss. As well as implemented strategic events where partnerships come together and connect.

This year's theme was “Workforce Development is Everyone’s Business”. We partnered with several areas across campus to highlight over 100 resources available to faculty and staff to continue their development. We also shared stories of people on campus and what they learned during the year in a video series. Including things such as gaining mental health first aid certificates, Master’s

degrees, CliftonStrengths Certification, and more. Click here to see those videos!
