The MentorShip Program

The MentorShip Program is hosted by a global NPO, Girls in Tech Taiwan. All the organizers are volunteers. This program is a 3-layer system containing Captains (mentors), Navigators (seniors), and Sailors (mentees). Experts in diverse fields are invited as Captains in different teams. They inspire Navigators and Sailors by experiences sharing. Navigators and Sailors can also seek guidance by bringing challenges they encounter in their daily work routine. By organizing this program, we hope to build a supportive community for women in the technology industry to shine on their career paths.
