The Network for Women in Marine Science (WiMS) is thrilled to announce the launch of its new mentorship initiative—the WiMS Womentoring Program. This program is designed to foster growth and empowerment among women in marine science by pairing experienced professionals (womentors) with emerging talents (womentees). Participants will benefit from valuable networking opportunities and receive guidance on navigating career challenges. Through collaborative learning, skill enhancement, and community building, this initiative will address gender-specific issues in the field while creating a supportive environment that promotes diversity, inclusion, and the overall advancement of women in marine science.
