Empowerment through mentoring

September 25th, 2024 marked the start of the third round of the ‘DamenLogistikMentoring’ (DLM) mentoring programme, a cooperation between the DamenLogistikClub (DLC) and the FH BFI Vienna. Under the motto ‘Growing together - shaping the future’, young women are once again supported in mastering their entry into the logistics industry and preparing for management positions in the long term. Since 2020, the programme has offered female students and graduates of the Logistics and Transport Management (Bachelor) and Logistics and Strategic Management (Master) degree programmes the opportunity to learn from experienced mentors and plan their professional careers in a targeted manner.
Erika herself has been a mentor since the beginning and also gave a keynote speech this year on the topic of ‘Empowerment through mentoring’.

Mentoring offers numerous advantages for everyone involved. Mentees benefit from personal and professional development, constructive feedback and increased access to networks. Mentoring also boosts their self-confidence and supports them in their career planning. Mentors also gain fresh perspectives and are able to learn new things. For organisations, mentoring is an effective means of promoting talent, transferring knowledge and retaining employees. Mentoring helps to create a positive learning culture and sustainably promote professional and personal development.
