Q Mentoria Ready for New Semester – Applications Are Open
On May 5, applications open for the autumn edition of Q Mentoria – Consid’s acclaimed mentorship program for women and non-binary individuals seeking both professional and personal growth. The initiative aims to level the playing field in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Since its inception, Q Mentoria has grown into a strong nationwide network of participants. By pairing mentees with experienced mentors from Consid – including developers, UX designers, project managers, and communicators – the program provides a safe platform for knowledge exchange, skills development, and professional guidance.
– This year, we’ve updated the application form in hopes of creating even better and clearer matches between mentors and mentees. Our goal is always to ensure participants have the most rewarding and relevant experience possible, says Filippa Ahlcrona, National Lead for the gender equality initiative Q by Consid.
Expectations for the fall 2025 program are high among Consid employees. The program has become a valued forum where personal connections, tailored matches, and inspiring conversations lay the foundation for long-term learning and networking.
Valentina Lukenda, a recruiter at Consid, chose to become a mentor in January 2025 and has now completed her first semester alongside her mentee.
– I’ve truly found it incredibly rewarding to share my knowledge in order to support someone else on their journey. It’s felt meaningful to be able to contribute while also learning a lot myself during this time, says Valentina Lukenda.
She continues:
– I love discussing and exchanging ideas. The mentorship has given me the opportunity to build a meaningful relationship, even though we come from different backgrounds and work in different fields. We’ve been able to connect through our shared interests, exchange experiences, and grow together.
The mentorship spans several months and includes regular meetings, individually tailored goals, and access to Q by Consid’s network and activities.
– This mentorship is a deliberate investment by Consid to empower and welcome women and non-binary individuals into the tech industry. We want to create opportunities, build confidence, and lower the barriers to an industry where everyone deserves a place, says Filippa Ahlcrona.
Applications are open until June 16. Learn more and register your interest here!
