WiOPS Guide to Mentoring
In this mentoring guidebook we provide a strategy that we feel works for the construction field and specifically is aimed at women. There are references and a reading list aimed to start your questioning and thinking of how you achieve all of your goals in both work and life. We do not set out to provide you with answers, but direct you on questions you may ask that will lead to achieving your goals.
