I am a Software Engineer at ThoughtWorks, having previously worked in an investment bank technology. A volunteer at TechLadies this year, I organized TechLadies Mentorship Program and run study groups to support women in technology. I am generally technology agnostic but most comfortable writing code in Java. At the moment, I am keen on learning about data engineering and science. A huge Juventus fan!

Mentorship has been found to be important for women in tech, as it allows women to have a safe community to grow professionally and personally, receive practical guidance from experienced peers, and learn how to navigate their career and in the traditionally male-dominated industry. The enthusiasm for such mentorship among the women in tech community in Singapore and beyond was largely reflected in the success of TechLadies’ first virtual mentorship program in 2020. Our program attracted multinational applications from five times the maximum capacity of participants, spanning numerous fields of tech -- data analysis, data science, software engineering, product management, and UI/UX Design. In this talk, the TechLadies Mentorship program will share our tips and strategies in making our first virtual mentorship program a success. This includes our outreach and marketing strategies to recruit participants, strategies to match suitable pairs of mentors and mentees, our thought process in devising a structured and balanced program focusing on both imperative technical and non-technical skills, and how we design for flexibility to cater to uncertain circumstances in COVID-19 era. We will also share success stories of participants and mentors who have benefited from the program, including some exciting projects that participants have managed to produce throughout the course of their mentorship. We believe that our learning points and experience could inspire the growth of more such initiatives, and engender a stronger, more supportive community among women in tech in Asia.
