Women in Technology Mentoring Programme

Organisations that support the scheme receive free marketing promotion, either for co-hosting the meeting or simply for joining the scheme. Letting others know you are part of this scheme will improve your employer brand.

With 72% of professionals driven by career advancement, offering external mentorships will significantly boost your employee value proposition. You will help your employees work at their full potential and attract the best talent in the technology sector to your company. As well as helping to boost female interest in the technology sector.

Mentoring is not simply one-sided – becoming a mentor allows senior managers access to a fresh perspective, through mentees who are often from a different generation or background.

External mentoring can also help to grow your network. Our workshops and meetups provide an important opportunity for the wider mentoring community to get to know each other, share experiences and develop new skills.

With so few women in the sector, opportunities to find female role models are incredibly rare. Access to Reed’s growing network of women in technology makes it easy to find someone who has walked a similar path to you, who can actively support you.

And, having a mentor from outside your organisation gives you a neutral and objective confidante to share any concerns with. This will help reduce your feelings of isolation, build your confidence and progress towards your long-term career goals.
