Providing one-on-one or small group support during online or in-person sessions.
-
Sharing industry insights and career advice.
-
Assisting with practical exercises and projects.
-
Promoting an inclusive, supportive environment in line with our Safeguarding Policy.
No prior mentoring experience is required, but an interest in tech and a commitment to empowering others are essential. Volunteers must undergo enhanced DBS checks and safeguarding training, provided free by Digital Start CIC. Sessions are held weekly, with flexible scheduling (2-4 hours/week) at different venues like Pontypridd Community Centre or online via secure platforms.
