Mentorship Program
The PWC Chicago Mentorship Program is here to further promote women in AEC and related industries by empowering experienced and emerging professionals to engage in meaningful relationships that foster growth and confidence. The Mentorship Program prides itself on being adaptable to the individuals' needs and desires and encouraging honest connections for mentors and mentees.
PWC Chicago Members have the opportunity to engage in the Mentorship Program as mentors, mentees, and on a peer-to-peer level. All Mentorship Matches are supported by the PWC Mentorship Committee, and must commit to 1-year of mentorship.
This program is for PWC Chicago Members only. Not a PWC Member? Join today!

How does the Mentorship Program work?
- PWC Members submit their Mentorship Application. Log into your Member Info Hub, and navigate to Resources to find the Mentorship Application.
- The Mentorship Committee reviews applications quarterly and will introduce you to your Mentorship Match.
- Develop the relationship that feels right to you and your match. We strongly encourage quarterly check-ins and ask for a 1 year commitment to developing this relationship.
What is expected of me as a Mentor or Mentee?
- 1 year commitment to developing this relationship, with at least quarterly check-ins
- Within 2 weeks of being matched, make initial contact via email or telephone and plan to meet your match
- Communicate with your match, honor your commitments, and let PWC Chicago know if things aren’t working!
What does it take to be a Mentor?
At PWC Chicago, we know there are many molds for a great mentorship relationship. Regardless of your specific industry or profession, you can have a profound impact on your mentee.
Excellent mentors have diverse perspectives, are good listeners, eager to make connections in your network, offer advice when asked, and always honor confidentiality.
