Mentoring for women in tech 1:1
Our unique mentoring program
Women today are joining mentor(SHE:) for guidance on how to manage broad career challenges such as:
Maintaining a better work/life balance, dealing with workplace conflicts, leadership and executive progression and career changes.
This program provides an open forum to discuss these challenges.
How does it work
The program runs each year, throughout a 10-month period. It offers events and educational resources along the way.
It kicks off with a mentor match process to get our wonderful women paired with a suitable match.
Mentors - Expert and experienced tech professionals pay it forward and nurture other female tech professionals.
Mentees - From graduates, to women re-entering the tech workforce after a period out, or those just wanting to jump-start their careers.

Why do we need mentoring for women in tech?
Mentoring is vital to the success and retention of women working in tech. We all benefit when someone shows us the ropes and sponsors us for new opportunities.
With only 28% of women in the tech sector (compared to 44% in other industries) mentoring offers a solution to help women overcome barriers to a successful and fulfilling career.
Vic ICT for Women created mentor(SHE:) to support the retention of women working in the tech sector. We want to create an accessible one on one environment to allow women to build confidence, provide networking opportunities, and facilitate professional development.
