People in underrepresented groups, particularly those identifying as women, don’t feel like they could belong in the IT sector. This causes many problems, for example, only a few are helping to shape our world of tomorrow.Through our mentoring program, we want to bring more diversity into tech and support those that identify as women to start or advance their careers. With the power of our community, inspiring relationships and new friendships are formed.
Mentoring, what is it actually?
The general definition is: An inspirational relationship based on trust and mutual respect which benefits both the mentor and the mentee. At moinworld, this means that you will receive adequate support individually tailored to your goals to gain a foothold in the IT sector and will be connected with a suitable mentor. And in case you are not sure if tech is the right thing for you, the program also offers you the opportunity to get connected to a professional in a specific IT area to explore more about it. This way you can find out whether a job in this field suits you. And we hope it will.

Working on your own projects, making your own mistakes is an important part of the process but it helps to get hints what to do when you are stuck.
Apply as a Mentee
The general 1:1 mentoring supports women to advance their career. We pair a mentee with an experienced mentor that will help to reflect on how to achieve their goals.
