Immerse yourself if IT #MonashOpenDay 2019

Last night we launched the pilot Women In Tech Alumni Mentoring program, designed to give women and non-binary IT students studying at Monash the opportunity to build networks, increase confidence and focus on career planning with an alumni mentor. We wish our 100 mentors and mentees all the best as they embark on the program that will run from August - October.
