Call for 3rd and 4th Year Female Engineering Students!

 

Exciting Mentorship Opportunity with Engineers of Tomorrow & Enbridge

Are you a third or fourth-year female engineering student eager to explore the energy sector and gain mentorship experience? We have a unique opportunity just for you!

We’re looking for up to five (5) motivated female engineering students to participate in an exclusive mentorship program with an experienced Enbridge engineer and an elementary school class.

What You’ll Gain:

As a mentee, you’ll be paired one-on-one with an Enbridge engineer who shares your interest in energy, energy transition, and sustainability. This is a chance to dive deep into engineering careers while exploring the energy sector alongside a professional.

Next, mentor-mentee pairs will partner with a grade 6, 7, or 8 class, guiding young, aspiring engineers through the Future City Experience – a hands-on design challenge where students create a model of a city 100 years into the future.

Why Join?

By participating, you’ll:

  • Enhance your professional skills through practical experience
  • Connect with the engineering community and expand your network
  • Raise awareness of engineering careers for the next generation
  • And most importantly, have FUN while making a meaningful impact!

Engineers of Tomorrow will provide all the training and resources you need for a successful experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does it start?

  • Mentoring Phase with the Engineer: October – December
