St. Cloud Times — In a survey by the professional social media networking site LinkedIn, 82 percent of people said having a mentor is crucial to further one’s professional development. But according to a 2013 study by the professional development company Levo League, 95 percent of women surveyed said they have never sought out a professional mentor.
Business and community leaders in Central Minnesota are attempting to change those statistics by offering a morning event to helping young women network with seasoned professionals from a variety of industries.
Times Media, in conjunction with St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud Federal Credit Union, Marco Inc. and the Greater St. Cloud Development Corp., sponsored what they hope will become an annual mentoring event for women.
