Q&A: Mentoring Programme 2018 - 2019
The Code to Change programme’s objective is to contribute to the achievement of gender equality (UN Sustainable Development Goal 5) and economic empowerment of women through digital inclusion.
We aim to address the existing skills gap in the ICT sector and the associated digital gender divide.
Sharing knowledge through a mentoring programme can empower women in the technical field, and contribute to increasing confidence, acquiring new skills and feeling supported on the learning journey.
One-on-One matching by committee, based on interest of the mentee and knowledge of the mentor
