tHE CHALLENGE:

WIT aimed to create an inclusive, structured mentoring program for diverse women at various career stages. The program needed scalability, personalized matches, and a user-friendly experience to foster mentorship across technical fields.

Opportunities for Growth and Impact:

  • The chance to implement an efficient system to seamlessly manage and scale mentorship matches for a large, diverse community.
  • A solution to reduce manual effort by automating tailored matches between mentors and mentees, considering factors like expertise, career stages, and geographic location.
  • Unlocking potential for greater growth and development by connecting the right people at the right time.
