The YCDI Women in IT Mentoring Program is a 1-year program that aims to expose girls to the most versatile and fastest growing industry in the world and empower them to take a more active approach to their goals and dreams. This program will provide them with a networking community of support to which they can call on, and teach them how to recognize and realize that they possess all the strength and skills they need to progress.

The breakfast launch is an opportunity for the group to get to know each other, have break out sessions on training, expectations and overview of the 1 year program’s agenda.

This program aims to bridge the gap:

• Of the men-to-women disparity represented in tech careers;
• Between where women see themselves, and the endless possibilities of where they could be;
• By providing access to mentors;
• From not knowing any role models in the tech industry to having a 1-1 relationship with one.
