The EBA together with the Business and Technology University (BTU) proudly organised the first large-scale Stakeholder Meeting within the framework of the EU-funded “Women Mentorship in Tech Programmes” project.
This transformative initiative is a significant step towards enhancing digital human capital in Georgia, particularly for girls and women.
Featuring keynote speeches from esteemed figures such as Mr. Nicholas Cendrowicz, Head of Cooperation of the European Union to Georgia; Prof. Dr. Nino Enukidze, Rector of the Business and Technology University; and Ms. Irina Sak, Vice President of the European Business Association, the Stakeholder Meeting set a promising tone for the initiative’s objectives.
The EU-supported “Women Mentorship in Tech Programmes” project in Georgia aims to engage 1,100 beneficiaries and 320 mentors over three seasons, promoting regional diversity by selecting at least one-third of participants from regions outside the capital. 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 project’s first session starts in July, involving 100 mentees and 70 mentors selected based on a fair and transparent selection process
