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 mentors 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 mentors individuals who have left their home countries because they do not support the regime or policies of their government.
Mentees are women seeking their first position in the IT and engineering industries. They know which career path they want to go but are looking for an experienced professional to help them accelerate this change. Their objectives can be to learn more about the responsibilities of a specific career, work on a portfolio or get ready for interviews with future employers. As a mentor, you will work on setting individual goals together with your mentee.
