DOT's Mentorship Program

July 28, 2026 · 28 min

Show notes

Every day at DOT, thousands of employees are solving problems. Maintaining our roads and bridges, responding to emergencies, designing projects, and keeping New Yorkers moving.

But as a new generation of employees steps forward, and many longtime employees prepare for retirement, how do we make sure all their knowledge doesn't leave with them? The answer is mentorship.

Today we're talking about DOT's Mentorship Program, an effort that's connecting employees across the department to build an even stronger future.

Josh and Anya welcome in Melissa Hardiman with DOT's Learning and Development Team, and Lee Gottfried, Assistant Director with the Office of Fleet Administration and Support to discuss the program.

Current employees interested in being a part of the community can find out more information here.
