What is the mentoring programme?
​The Women@Tech Mentoring Programme is a first-of-a-kind cross-company structured programme that connects women working within the UK technology industry to a more experienced mentor with the goal of achieving individual participant goals for both mentor and mentee.
The programme is flexible, beneficial and inclusive, and is easy for participants to join.
Is this programme right for me?
The programme is designed to connect those who identify as a woman across member companies (note mentors can be any gender), and help further mentees in their personal or professional goals.
If you are considering signing up, below are some example questions you could consider, if you are wondering what you might want to get out of the relationship:
-
Do you want to learn about another Tech company and/or function in Tech?
-
Do you want to learn more about specific soft skills?
-
Are you looking to understand about the shape of different career paths, or help to map out and achieve your career goals and aspirations?
-
Do you need help to overcome imposter syndrome?
-
Would you benefit from regular accountability to help you reach your targets and deadlines?
-
Are you interested in leadership, time management and presentation skills?
What is the target audience?
-
Mentees: The programme is open to any person who identifies as a woman at one of the Women@Tech member companies. All levels of experience can apply.
-
Mentors: The programme will be open to any person who represents one of the Women@Tech member companies, with 5+ years of work experience. This will ensure that we keep open the opportunity for mentees earlier in their career to be mentored by someone a few years ahead, where requested.
Please note, you can sign up as both if you wish! This Programme has a limited number of spots, on a first come first served basis. Mentors will also be able to select the max number of mentees they wish to take on.
