Growth Happens
Through Connection
No career is built alone.
The WiLS Mentorship Program creates meaningful connections between professionals across the life sciences supply chain—bringing together experience, perspective, curiosity, and ambition in relationships designed to help both people grow.
Through mentorship, mentees gain guidance, perspective, confidence, and support as they navigate their careers. Mentors have the opportunity to share what they’ve learned, develop others, strengthen their own leadership, and gain new perspectives along the way.
What Mentorship
Can Unlock
Mentorship creates different opportunities depending on where you are in your journey.
Gain perspective and guidance as you advance in your current role or explore what comes next.
Strengthen leadership, communication, emotional intelligence, problem-solving, and other critical professional skills.
Build greater self-awareness and confidence in your strengths, decisions, and leadership potential.
Learn from another person’s experiences while building meaningful relationships beyond your immediate professional circle.
Create accountability around your development goals and take meaningful steps toward achieving them.
Strengthen your ability to listen, coach, challenge, motivate, and develop others.
Turn your professional experiences—both successes and lessons learned—into meaningful guidance.
Connect with professionals across the life sciences supply chain and expand your own network.
Mentoring works both ways. Learn from another person’s experiences, ambitions, questions, and ways of thinking.
Help another professional grow while contributing to a stronger pipeline of women leaders across our industry.
How It Works
We thoughtfully connect mentors and mentees to create meaningful relationships built around individual goals, experience, development needs, and opportunities for growth.
Apply
Share your experience, interests, goals, and what you hope to gain or contribute through mentorship.
Match
The WiLS Mentorship Program team thoughtfully matches mentors and mentees based on goals, experience, development needs, and areas of interest.
Connect
Mentor and mentee meet, align on expectations, establish goals, and agree on a meeting rhythm that works for both.
Grow
The mentee drives the relationship while both participants engage in meaningful conversations, reflection, learning, and development.
Reflect
Participants reflect on their progress, share feedback, and help WiLS continuously strengthen the mentorship experience.
Mentee-Led.
Mentor-Supported.
The most successful mentoring relationships are built on shared commitment—but the mentee takes ownership of their development.
Drives meetings, sets agendas, communicates their goals and needs, remains open to feedback, and follows through on agreed actions.
Creates a trusted space to listen, ask thoughtful questions, share perspective and experience, challenge assumptions, provide constructive feedback, and support growth.
The Beginning of
Something Bigger
In June 2026, WiLS launched its inaugural Mentorship Program pilot—bringing together our founding cohort of mentors and mentees for a six-month journey of connection, learning, and growth.
This first cohort is more than a pilot. Their experiences, insights, and feedback will help us learn, evolve, and build a mentorship program designed to create meaningful and lasting impact for women across the life sciences supply chain.
