06 May 2021

Annamaria, Beatrice, Elena B., Elena M., Eleonora, Federica, Giada, Laura, Letizia, Mariia, Marta, Marta Caterina, Martina, Micol, Noemi, Rossella, Sara, Valentina, Veronica and Viola are the 20 female engineering students who have just completed the "Women Mentoring by Amazon Operations".

The mentoring, organised by the Career Service of the Politecnico di Milano together with Amazon Operations, took place online and allowed 20 female students to face a path of 5 meetings to reflect on their future career.

The 5 mentors, male and female managers from Amazon Operations, encouraged the girls to reflect and discuss on various topics and values: career path, assertiveness, leadership and development opportunities, work life balance.

The project ended on 5 May at a meeting where all the participants shared their feedback and left a message with the hope that the relationship established could continue beyond the project.

The "Women Mentoring" project is one of the projects that the Career Service of the Politecnico di Milano offers every year to female students and is one of the concrete actions implemented by the University within the Politecnico Equal Opportunities strategic programme to promote gender inclusion and equal opportunities.
