Technology is a dynamic industry, with thousands of new jobs created daily through new evolution and innovation. While tech progresses, the number of women working in tech has increased but remains far from equitable. Research has proven that the most successful organizations pursue gender diversity among employees. However, many women can feel intimidated or unprepared to launch their new careers in the tech world. Stop feelings of insecurity or imposter syndrome in their tracks by using our SheTek-recommended strategies throughout your tech career.

FIND A MENTOR

Many successful women in tech, from Melinda Gates to SheTek Founder Chaya Pamula, have attributed a large portion of their success to advice received by their mentors. Additionally, studies show that a strong support system is one of the biggest differentiators if a woman remains in tech throughout her career. One way to start building that support system for yourself is by finding the right mentor.

The SheTek Tech Mentorship Program features experienced mentors already working in tech who will guide you through career choices, help you identify opportunities for growth and development, and support you as you grow. SheTek Tech Mentors work with you during our program, providing you with valuable insights and career-accelerating, actionable advice.
