About Digitalent Mentorship Programme

Apply as a mentor

A key component in Digitalent is mentorship. Mentors are important in the programme as they guide the trainees in their personal and professional growth, and share essential career knowledge in the field. The PDTP mentoring programme is formal and planned and structured, covering:

  1. Career mentoring: mentee is paired with an ICT professional from the industry working in the mentee’s area of interest. The mentor offers guidance and support as they go through the one year internship programme
  2. Personal development mentoring: mentees receive guidance on selected competencies and life skills

The structure of the mentorship programme is fully outlined in the Mentorship Guide, which is a reference document on what is expected from the volunteer mentors.

Participating in PDTP gave me an insider perspective on the government, which helped me to know my country better. I now know the flagship projects that the government is working hard to accomplish and I am proud to have been part of the success that is being achieved. I would like to encourage ladies who graduate from university to come out in large numbers and be a part of this programme as it gives great exposure and a lot of inspiration to do more in ICT.

Through PDTP, I have learnt a lot working for government and in the public sector especially in areas of user support and training. I am now able to fully appreciate the growth of ICT uptake and its effects, not only in government, but also to the common mwananchi. I encourage graduates to take up the PDTP opportunity because through it, I have seen that the possibilities in ICT in service delivery are infinite.
