The Two Ten Footwear Foundation is aiming to help more people across the industry with the launch of a new mentorship program next year. Designed to help foster the next generation of footwear professionals and leaders, Two Ten noted that the initiative, developed in partnership with career coaching and mentorship company CoLabL, will bring together employees at various career levels and industry sectors for a three-month program. Two Ten said that mentees will have the opportunity to gain perspective from experienced industry leaders, work towards specific career goals, and develop relationships that can support their continued growth. Mentors will be able to share their expertise and strengthen their coaching and leadership skills, while giving back to the industry, the organization noted. While Two Ten previously offered a mentorship program for its Women in the Footwear Industry (WIFI) community, the organization confirmed the initiative ended in 2020.
