Georgia: EU-funded project on women mentorship in tech programmes conducts first stakeholder meeting
The European Business Association (EBA) and the Business and Technology University (BTU), Georgia, organised the first large-scale Stakeholder Meeting as part of the EU-funded ‘Women Mentorship in Tech Programmes’ project. The event took place in Tbilisi.
The project aims to engage 1,100 beneficiaries and 320 mentors over three seasons, promoting regional diversity by selecting at least one-third of participants from Georgian regions.
Five-month-long mentorship sessions will be organised in five key tech directions, including cybersecurity, front-end development, graphic design, digital marketing, and UX/UI design. The first session starts in July, involving 100 mentees and 70 mentors selected based on a fair and transparent selection process.
The Stakeholder Meeting covered various topics related to the project’s objectives, including enhancing ICT proficiency and career prospects for women in Georgia.
“Today more than ever, we support the Georgian people’s aspiration to join the European Union. One way to achieve this goal is by encouraging citizens’ engagement in democratic and economic processes. In 2024, this means advancing digital inclusion, especially for women,” said Nicholas Cendrowicz, the Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Georgia.
