What to expect as a mentor

Two women sitting on a bench in front of a brick wall looking and smiling at each other, each holding a glass soda bottle.

Leverage your experience to help women and non-binary immigrants begin a tech career in Sweden.

Two people sitting at a desk with papers in front of them. One person is writing something on the paper.

Mentees most often need help with CVs, interviews, and navigating the Swedish job market.

Our mentorship community is here to support you, whether you’re a first-time mentor or very experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions

We ask that you have successfully landed your first tech job in Sweden. Whether you’re in your first tech job or 10th, we believe everyone can offer a valuable perspective.

We are looking for mentors who are eager to share their experiences and are encouraging and knowledgeable about the tech scene in Sweden.

Most of the mentoring sessions are virtual. However, if mentors and mentees live in the same city and feel comfortable meeting up we encourage that too.

No. The Pollination Mentoring Programme is free for mentees. This programme is a valuable opportunity to enhance your leadership and communication skills within a supportive community.

Beela's programme gave me a chance to get to know so many people that are willing to support each other. As a mentor I have met truly inspiring, smart and brave people who are finding their way to Swedish tech field. While mentees can learn from my technical experience, I can also talk to people from various backgrounds and improve my own skills and knowledge.

Beela's mentorship program allowed me to connect with other immigrant women in Sweden and prompt meaningful discussions about data, adjusting to a new culture, self-assurance in applying for jobs and more. Highly recommend others entering the tech industry to join the Beela community and especially the mentorship program to grow your network.
