The DSF Career Day Mentorship Programme is an exciting new initiative designed to create meaningful, personal connections between experienced professionals in the tech industry and those just beginning, or restarting their career journeys. Whether you’re early in your career, returning after a break, or exploring a new direction entirely, this programme offers a unique opportunity to grow, learn, and be guided by someone who’s already walked the path.

Our mission is to foster inclusive, supportive mentorship that opens doors and builds confidence. At it’s core, the programme is about breaking down barriers- giving mentees access to real-world knowledge, industry insight, and human connection that too often feels out of reach.

Over the course of eight weeks, each mentor will be matched with a group of six mentees. Together, they’ll embark on a series of six structured one-hour sessions, held weekly. These sessions are thoughtfully designed to cover the full arc of early career development, from clarifying personal goals and exploring the tech landscape, to building practical skills like CV writing and interview preparation, and reflecting on progress and personal growth.

This isn’t just about professional development, it’s about connection, belonging, and confidence. Mentees will have the chance to share experiences, ask questions, and receive tailored feedback in a safe and supportive environment. Mentors, in turn, will have the opportunity to give back, inspire the next generation, and shape the future of a more diverse and welcoming tech sector.

Whether you’re looking to learn, lead, or both, the DSF Career Day Mentorship Programme is your invitation to be part of something transformational. Come join us in building the kind of tech community we all want to see.
