Non-Tech in Tech Mentorship Program - Fall 2023
Apply by May 5th at 11:59 PM
Curious about Seattle’s tech scene, but don’t want to work in software engineering or data science? Tech companies require a broad range of skill sets and roles to function – including marketing, sales, account management, human resources, operations, project management, and more. Join this program to learn how your skills, strengths and interests can translate into a career in tech.
Students will indicate areas of interest within tech during the application process:
- Customer Service / Account Management / Sales
- Human Resources / Recruiting
- Marketing / Communications / Social Media
- Project Management / Program Management
Beginning in Spring 2023, the Industry Mentorship Program will be piloting identity-based matching for students who identify as People of Color and/or LGBTQIA+. Depending on preferences and mentor availability, students will have the opportunity to be matched with a mentor that shares their identity(s) or similar life experiences. As we continue to develop this identity mentorship initiative, we hope to expand our programming to include additional identity groups in future quarters.
Application Criteria:
- Undergraduate student at UW Seattle (MUST be enrolled as a student in Fall 2023)
- Must have completed 3 quarters at UW or transferred to UW with the equivalent credits
- Must be available during the Fall 2023 quarter on Tuesdays OR Wednesdays from 4:00 – 7:00pm
