About the Grad Girls Tech Program

The Grad Girls Tech program is a flagship initiative with not-for-profit organisation, Women 4 STEM, designed to support women and gender diverse tertiary students and recent graduates as they transition into tech careers through mentorship, facilitated workshops, industry connection, and real-world exposure.

Role Overview

Reporting to the Mentor Coordinator, this volunteer role is to help support the 50x group mentors and team to deliver the mentoring stream within the Grad Girls Tech program.

Working closely with the Student Engagement and Data teams, you’ll help ensure mentors and participants are informed, supported, and engaged throughout the program.

• Work with Data team to gather feedback from mentors
• Track participation and attendance against graduation criteria
• Provide monthly updates to Mentor Coordinator on progress, challenges, and improvements

Who are we looking for?

• Experience supporting mentoring, education, or volunteer programs (helpful but not essential)

• Organised, proactive, with good attention to detail
• Approachable and solutions-focused, able to respond calmly when questions or issues arise
• Reliable and enthusiastic, with a strong student-centred mindset
• Comfortable using tools such as Slack, Teams & Zoom
• A genuine interest in gender equity and supporting diversity in tech

What is the commitment?

• Approximately 6 hours per week, across the week. Certain times are busier than others
