[nabs-l] Mentorship for people with disabilities in tech

[sawhney.kartik]

Hi all, 

 

Here is an exciting opportunity for students interested in tech. 

 

NextBillion.org <http://www.nextbillion.org/>  is now accepting mentor & mentee applications for its second mentorship program for people with disabilities.

Cohort 2 is 12-week, online mentorship program (Apr 24 - July 10) that connects 30 students with disabilities with industry leaders from top tech companies (Facebook, Google, Microsoft, PayPal, Amazon etc) to build their own tech-related project ideas. Each mentor-mentee pair is matched based on personal stories & goals.

Through the mentorship program & community, each mentee has the opportunity to bring their tech-project ideas to life, learn about the industry through webinars, develop personally and access employment opportunities from companies. Mentors and mentees in North America, interested in engineering, product, design, technology or science can apply to be a part of Cohort 2. You can read success stories from Cohort 1 <https://www.facebook.com/nextbillionorg/>  to learn more about the first cohort.

Apply as a mentor or mentee on www.NextBillion.org <http://www.nextbillion.org> . The last date to apply is April 14, 2017.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. 

 

Best,

-Kartik
