Mission Statement

Our mission is to make careers in the technology industry more attainable through equitable access to mentorship, education, and career opportunities.

Description

Wevise is on a mission to level the playing field in tech. Through direct programming and partnerships with nonprofits supporting underserved and disadvantaged people to enter and advance in the technology industry, we provide access to mentors, training and educational opportunities, and careers.

Our goals:

*Support underserved and disadvantaged people to enter and thrive in the technology industry

*Partner with organizations who need mentorship and career placement programs to complement their main programming, helping them to better serve their beneficiaries

*Support companies in finding the right, often diverse, candidates

Our main service is a free, on-demand mentorship platform that allows people to request mentorship based on specific needs, interests, background, and experience. Mentors and mentees can specify their interest in short, medium, and long-term mentorship.

Mentors choose one or more mentees that resonate with them from a curated list of five mentorship requests. Although the platform is open and free to all, we are focused on supporting underserved and disadvantaged people. Mentors and mentees are matched with people who have overcome similar barriers, such as LGBTQIA+, veteran, first-generation student, person of color, person with a disability, single parent, etc. We also provide custom tags for nonprofit partners so that mentors can mark a preference for mentoring someone from one of those programs.
