Digital Talent Programme
Where did Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, find inspiration to become the first computer programmer? And how did Katherine Johnson, an African American woman, become John Glenn’s go-to mathematician who verified the computer equations that would control the trajectory of his 1962 space flight from blastoff to splashdown? Both women showed a talent for mathematics at an early age, but it was their mentors who set them on their unlikely career paths.
Building a strong, diverse and inclusive IT organisation is an ongoing challenge for organisations. A lack of female role models and mentors is a significant barrier to career growth for women in digital technology. The RightBrains Growth and Mentor programme offers a unique combination of expert workshops focused on skills development, three months of one-on-one career guidance from a female digital leader, and the opportunity to be part of a wider community of 1.200 like-minded women.
The RightBrains Digital Talent Programme started in March 2024. It supports women in navigating promotions, delivering on expanded responsibility, or working through a particular situation, challenge, or opportunity – and can lead to lifelong friendships! Participation is limited to 20 mentees.
Programme set-up
We believe in the power of cross-organisational mentoring. Before the programme begins, we will match you to a senior leader in digital technology as your mentor. The mentor matches are based on experience and digital interests, aiming to facilitate authentic and meaningful connections between mentors and mentees. You will meet each other at the kick-off event and together you will make a plan. During the programme on 23 May between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm, you will have an online intervision group session with mentoring expert Annemarie van den Thillart. At the end of the programme, we will meet again as a group during a grand finale event to celebrate, network and share our experiences and success stories.
After attending the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Find their strength and energy to face life with renewed confidence and optimism.
- Be more confident in standing up for themselves.
- Take charge and discover the source of their own power.
- Connect fully with themselves and others in a authentic way.
- Be more visible in the online and offline world from a thought leader perspective.
- Create a strong and authentic personal brand which will benefit career development.
