Big shout out to many partners who help us build and make this program affordable.

This is a one-time fee for the whole duration of the 6-month program. For this fee you will get access to Acceleration Program’s platform where you will:

• Match with and hold regular meetings with your mentor
• Have access to tech content sessions on the topics of your chosen tech track
• Be invited to a number of events organized by top-notch tech companies
• Get exclusive access to the Women Go Tech conference
• Be a part of a like-minded women community and much more!

The time commitment for mentorship sessions will vary based on agreement with your mentor but it will not be less than 2 hours per month. Other program activities such as expert content sessions and other events will require 2-4 hours of your time per month.

All program activities are held in English. The program is international and our participants, mentors, and experts come from various different countries around the world!

Succeeding in the tech world and building a career is much easier if you speak and understand English. Most of the newest industry materials, courses, and books are in English, international tech companies are looking for employees who are fluent in English as well. Do not worry if your skills aren’t perfect or you haven’t used them for a while – soon you will revive your knowledge and it’ll be a great help for your future career!

Women residing in European Union or Ukraine are welcome to join the Acceleration Program. At Women Go Tech, we are committed to providing equal access to opportunities in tech for all regardless of background or country of origin. Unfortunately, due to the current political situation in Russia and Belarus, we cannot accept applicants from those countries at this time. The war in Ukraine and the Moscow regime’s policies are antithetical to our values and we cannot in good conscience condone or support these oppressive practices by accepting applicants from Russia and Belarus. However, we welcome applications from individuals who have left their home countries because they do not support the regime or policies of their government.

This is an online program so meetings with your mentors and other activities such as training sessions and events take place online.

Criteria for the participant candidates are:

• Motivation and determination. You should have taken some steps toward the tech world before entering the program. Courses, books, seminars, self-learning activities – anything works if it proves your will!
• Ability to set professional goals. Goals provide a roadmap for your personal and professional development and help you maximize the benefits of the mentorship experience.
• Basic English communication skills. All communication and program activities are held in English so you should be able to understand and speak English.
• LinkedIn profile. We (and your future employers) want to see your professional journey! If you don’t have a LinkedIn account yet, this is a good time to start one.
• 18+ years old.

Acceleration Program’s mentors are experienced professionals working in global tech companies who are eager to tell you about their own path in tech, provide advice, and guidance, and lend you a helping hand while you work on your goals!

If you are selected to participate in the program we will invite you to create your profile on the Acceleration Program’s platform where you will be able to browse mentor profiles and get recommendations on best matches. Once you find someone you’d like to pair up with, you will send a request and wait for the mentor’s answer. If the mentor accepts you will be paired and can schedule your first call. If your request is not accepted don’t worry, you can request other mentors before the self-matching process ends. If you don’t find a pair by the time self-matching ends, we will assign you a mentor based on your profile.

After you match with a mentor you will be able to send messages to each other and schedule your first call where you will agree on the frequency, duration, and format of your meeting and set goals for the upcoming 6 months. From that point on you will be expected to take initiative and request meetings with your mentor based on your agreement.

Our program gives you the opportunity to meet experts from a number of top-notch tech companies and broaden your horizons but it is up to you if you take it all. Yet, the more you attend, the better it is for YOUR personal career journey.

Yes. All participants can download a certificate of completion at the end of the course. You have to finish all program processes in order to proceed to this step.

Yes! We believe that the Discovery Program helps you choose which career path to pursue and the Acceleration Program can then guide you in landing your first job. While we expect applicants to have taken a few more steps towards their desired role before applying to the Acceleration Program, we do take your status as a Discovery Program alumnus into consideration when evaluating your application.

Acceleration Program is the Mentorship Program under a new name. If you have participated in this program already, we recommend that now you apply what you have learned and take the next step by applying to an internship or a junior role at a tech company!

You should submit only one application to participate in the program. In this application, we ask you to choose one track that you are most passionate about. However, you will have the option to choose an alternative track to apply for in case you don’t get into your first choice. Also, some of our mentors have experience in a few different roles within tech so if that’s important to you make sure to look for desired experience when choosing your mentor (this is done once you have been admitted to the program).

We are allocating scholarships to selected participants in financially disadvantaged situations. The scholarship covers the full fee of the program (199 EUR). Information on these criteria is collected during the application stage, so you don’t need to complete any additional steps to apply. The decision on whether to allocate a scholarship is made by a Women Go Tech team member, a board member, and an external reviewer.

No, all successful candidates from Ukraine automatically qualify for a scholarship.

If your company wants to provide you or your whole team a ticket in the program they are welcome to do it! There are two options:

1. You can make a purchase and payment by yourself and ask your company for compensation for learning & development expenses. In this case, we are not able to issue an invoice in the company’s name.
2. If the invoice under the company’s name is needed, please, ask your company to contact us at support@womengotech.com for the purchase, before making the payment.

You have the right to cancel your agreement and receive the full refund within 14 days after signing it (placing an order and making the payment is considered making an agreement with the service provider). We will return the money no later than 14 days after receiving the refund request. Your refund will be processed in the same way that the order was, without an additional refund fee. If you want to successfully cancel your participation, or you have any questions about our refund policy, please contact us by email: support@womengotech.com.
