Educate

Promote Personal and Professional Growth

Education programs offer associates a space to grow and expand beyond their role by acquiring new skills, building deeper understanding of the business, and highlighting opportunities to impact outcomes. Through WiN education initiatives, associates are provided the opportunity to participate in engaging presentations and group workshops that foster education, employee development, and networking.

Increase Involvement, Inclusion, and Belonging Through Connections

Inclusion within an organization is an important piece to an engaged and positive work experience. Throughout the year, WiN hosts multiple events focused on networking opportunities, both internally and externally, to develop and strengthen working relationships, cultivate respect, and build trust with one another.

With Littelfuse associates around the world, WiN has expanded to have global chapters in North America, Asia, and Europe.

A few great examples of this outreach are the engagement with FIRST Robotics competitions and partnership with United Way on a variety of community giving and outreach opportunities focused on women and STEM.
