WTSMentorship is a Women in Tech SEO initiative. It's a mentorship program for our WTS community members to help mentors and mentees feel empowered and share that empowerment with one another.
Mentorship is the value that this community has been built on from the very beginning.
This is a mentorship program, not a training course, it involves mentors and mentees within the SEO industry, but the mentorship program focuses on soft skills such as Career Development, Leadership, Strategy and more.
Over the last four years, we have matched over 1,000 mentors x mentees, and the feedback that keeps coming through is terrific. We learn a lot from this feedback and apply the learnings to our future cohorts.
Our program trainer, Kathryn Monkcom, is a digital marketer and careers coach who will provide training sessions to our mentors and mentees during the program onboarding phase. She will then conduct weekly check-ins and provide guidance and advice to our mentors and mentees throughout the program.
The program runs for two months, with a dedicated onboarding and training week before the first week. We have a maximum of 50 mentors x mentees. We recommend between 2 to 4 hours monthly requirement to connect with your mentor/mentee.
A private Slack channel will include separate areas for mentors & mentees. We will provide a program monthly structure, FAQ resources, training materials, weekly check-ins and feedback to all our mentors and mentees.
As with all our initiatives, the program is open to women and people of marginalised genders.
As with everything in our community, this is a free global initiative. Simply fill out the below form and choose whether you'd like to sign up as a mentor or a mentee (not both). Based on your responses, we will then do 1-1 matchmaking and match each mentor with a mentee. Our cohorts have a maximum of 50 mentors x mentees matched, so the more detailed you are in your response, the more helpful it will be to match you.
