My name is Ruth Idota, one of the 2023 thriving hand in hand mentees. It’s been 6 months of mentoring under UI/UX career path and personal development.
I got to know about the program via Instagram. Just starting out in my career I needed someone who could walk me through this path. Having experienced some setbacks in my previous career path because I couldn’t find my way around so I had to leverage on this mentorship program.
It has been a wonderful experience at the mentorship program.
My career was not just impacted but my life generally.
It gave me focus. Before the mentorship program, I couldn’t really decide what career path to focus on but during the mentorship program, I got focus.
As a result, I’m in the processing of upscaling to become a product designer through internship programs
Mentorship program is what anybody should consider especially if you’re just getting started in a career path, or you’re trying to find your feet in life.
I sincerely want to appreciate the organizers of this program, like I lack words to express how grateful I am for this opportunity.

I learnt Front-end Development in the Thriving while Waiting mentorship program named Thriving Hand-in-Hand. The thriving Hand-in-Hand mentorship program provides mentees with a great opportunity to develop and become competent in their chosen career path.
My journey into front-end development started in July 2023. I was at a point in life where I was still trying to find a balance, on a path to unveiling my purpose in life, then my friend who was into programming sent me a digital flier as well as a link to apply for this mentorship programme.
Overall, it has been a beautiful and rewarding experience from accelerating self-development to gaining a wealth of confidence and increased level of knowledge. My mentor has been amazing, he gave me emotional support and guidance which helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses and encouraged me to take on new challenges thereby enhancing my personal growth.
I would encourage aspiring tech developers to explore the Thriving Hand-in-Hand Mentorship Program because it will improve mentors’ and mentees’ personal and professional lives, making them a valuable investment for individuals and organizations.
To conclude, I want to thank everyone behind this astounding program. I am thankful for the team and everyone who made this possible. May
God bless each and everyone of you abundantly. Thank you.

Venturing into the world of data wasn’t exactly in my comfort zone. I was drowning in information overload, and the jargon sounded like a foreign language, but here I am today, excited about Data Analytics.
I joined the 2023 Thriving Hand-in-Hand (THnH) Mentoring Programme, which has been exciting. I went from staring blankly at charts to crafting narratives from data. I was trained in Excel, SQL, and Power BI.
My mentor did a great job in taking the basics deeply, which formed the foundation for my knowledge of Data Analytics. He is a focused problem-solver and a confidence booster.
I am excited to say that I have put my newfound skills to the real test. Analyzing customer behaviour for a food-based local vendor, and a wine store where they have experienced more stability in inflow and tracing their shortages where and when necessary. This has been an amazing experience.
I recommend the THnH Mentorship Programme to you, as the programme will help you streamline your plans for achieving the great things you never thought of achieving in a short while. Leap! Join the mentorship programme and embrace the challenge.
To the organizers, a heartfelt thank you for igniting my data journey. You gave me the tools, the knowledge, and most importantly, the confidence to navigate this captivating world of information. I am excited to see where this newfound power will lead me.

I enrolled in the Digital Marketing/Social Media Management track of the Thriving Hand-in-Hand 6-month Mentorship Programme.
When I saw the advert for the programme on Instagram, I was curious and wanted to know what the mentorship programme was about. I have attended lots of training and boot camps but I have never been part of any mentorship programme and that was my motivation to apply.
Embarking on this transformative journey, the initial challenge of outlining my goals proved to be a pivotal moment. Despite the initial difficulty, navigating through this process brought clarity to my career path. I now have my goals written down somewhere, serving as a guide to measure my progress. The programme curriculum was planned in a way that every aspect of our career was well covered.
To every young lady out there, I extend an earnest invitation to join the Thriving Hand-in-Hand Mentorship Programme. It offers an experience unlike any other, a sentiment I have based on my incredible journey. The meticulous planning by the organizers ensured an enriching experience for all participants.
In conclusion, my participation in the Thriving Hand-in-Hand Mentorship Program has been nothing short of remarkable. I am not only equipped with newfound skills but also gained a refined sense of direction for my professional journey.

I was a mentee with Thriving While Waiting Women Foundation where I was mentored under the Human Resource Management track for six months.
My pursuit of a meaningful career led me to this program during my job search.
The mentorship programme has proven instrumental in elevating my understanding and experience within the realm of Human Resources Management.
One significant impact the mentorship programme has made in my professional growth is exposing me to how to better market and sell my skills using engaging words that will make my listeners interested in listening to me. This I learned during the one-on-one private chat with the organiser of the programmme.
I wholeheartedly encourage individuals seeking strategic guidance for career advancement to actively consider applying for this programme, facilitated by dedicated experts.

My experience has been truly transformative. Initially, I delved into understanding my temperament and personality traits, laying a foundation for my professional growth. Through practical sessions, I honed skills in recruitment, selection, and onboarding. This hands-on approach significantly enriched my learning.
This mentorship journey boosted my confidence at work, elevated my productivity, and led me to discover my purpose. I gained insights into professional etiquette, including dressing and self-composure.
I wholeheartedly recommend mentoring programs, particularly those offered by THRIVINGWW, especially for recent graduates seeking invaluable professional training and experience. Continuous learning is crucial for professional growth; hence, I encourage employees to seize opportunities for mentoring, training, coaching, and counselling to reach new heights in their careers.
A profound thank you to my exceptional mentor for generously sharing his wealth of knowledge during these six months. Your mentorship surpassed any paid classes I have attended. May God continue to bless you.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the program organizers. Your commitment and encouragement were truly remarkable. I am profoundly grateful for the care and dedication shown, making this free training an exceptional experience.
