💙💛 Never underestimate the power of your story.

To everyone who has messaged, encouraged us or signed up for the Tech Society UKZN Mentorship Programme, THANK YOU! You are such a blessing! 🥹❤️

I truly believe our stories are powerful. The challenges we've overcome, lessons we've learnt and people who've helped us along the way can become someone else's source of hope and encouragement.

You don't need a perfect journey to make a meaningful difference in someone else's. 🌱

✨ We're still looking for mentors! Only a few days left to sign up.

📅 Closes: 19 October 2026

🚨 CALL FOR MENTORS | TECH SOCIETY UKZN 🚨

Somewhere at UKZN, there is a student trying to enter an industry you already understand.

They may be wondering which skills actually matter, how to get their first opportunity, what employers really look for, or whether they are even heading in the right direction.

Sometimes the difference between feeling lost and moving forward is simply having someone say:

“I’ve walked this road before. Let me share what I learnt.” 🤝💙

The Tech Society UKZN Mentorship Program is calling on industry professionals, alumni and postgraduate students to mentor UKZN students and help bridge the gap between university and the world of work. 🎓🚀

When signing up, mentors can choose the sector that best matches their experience:

📊 Data Analytics & Business Strategy
💼 Tech Consulting & Business
📱 Digital Marketing for Businesses
💳 Finance & FinTech
🚚 Logistics & Tech
🔐 Tech Risk & Cybersecurity
🧾 Accounting, Auditing & Digital Systems

Your experience does not need to be perfect to be valuable.

The lesson you learnt after making a mistake could prevent someone else from making it.
The career advice you wish you received earlier could give someone direction.
One conversation could give a student the confidence to apply for an opportunity they would otherwise have walked away from. 🌱

💡 How it works:

👥 Mentor a student
📅 5-week mentorship programme
💬 1- 2 guided sessions per week (Flexible to mentor)
🕐 Flexible scheduling — mentors and mentees choose meeting times that work for them
📚 Session guides are provided to help structure meaningful conversations around careers, LinkedIn, skills, CVs, applications, interviews and professional growth

You are not expected to have all the answers.

You are simply being asked to share the knowledge, perspective and experience you already have. 💛

🗓️ Important dates:

⏳ Mentor applications close: 19 October 2026
🤝 Mentor–mentee matching: 20 October
🚀 Programme begins: week of 19 October 2026

If you see your field above, this is your opportunity to turn your experience into someone else’s head start. ✨

A beautiful highlight from our Tech Society UKZN STEM Social Space 💙✨

The STEM Social Space was created as more than just an event — it was a space for students and young professionals to connect, exchange ideas, build confidence and discover the opportunities that exist across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

One of the most rewarding parts of the day was seeing conversations begin so naturally: students learning from one another, new connections being formed, questions being asked and people realising that they do not have to navigate the world of STEM alone.

At Tech Society UKZN, we believe that building the future of technology starts with building strong communities around the people who will shape it.

Some of our favourite highlights included:

* meaningful networking and new connections
* conversations around careers and opportunities in STEM
* students sharing their experiences and aspirations
* creating a relaxed space where people could learn, engage and simply belong
* strengthening the growing STEM community within and beyond UKZN

Thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed to the conversations and helped make the space what it was. Every connection, conversation and shared idea adds another piece to the community we are continuing to build.

Here’s to creating more spaces where young people can connect, learn and see themselves as part of the future of STEM. 🚀
