Mentor Interview: YANG's New Mentorship Program - How Is It Going?
Through multiple positions in the automotive world, I’ve always found it challenging to find a solid program, let alone a mentor that could truly guide me in a direction I would find impactful. Whether or not it was the mentor themselves, the lack of structure or a deficiency in leadership around the program altogether; the stars never seemed to align. . . that was until I decided to give YANG a shot.
