What is Digital Mavens?
Digital Mavens is a 12-week program of learning and coaching which runs from 2 May to 20 July 2023.
Fortnightly sessions are held online at two convenient times. Choose one session each week that fits into your schedule. Group coaching sessions are also available to apply what you’ve learnt to your own career plan.
It is a career development program aimed at equipping rural women with a plan for re-entering the workforce or building a new career.
When do applications close?
Applications closed 21st April.
If you would like to express your interest for the next cohort, you are welcome to apply via this form. Please note the next cohort will be an ever-green program and not include group coaching.
What is the time commitment?
Two to four hours per week for 12 weeks.
The program will be held Tuesday evening 7pm-9pm and Thursday 9-11am starting 2 May 2023. Choose one session per week that fits in with your schedule.
What does it cost?
Nothing. That’s right.
The Digital Mavens program is valued at $2000 but you can access it for FREE under the Australian Government National Careers Institute (NCI) initiative to help women back into employment.
That’s a whole lot of value and expertise at your fingertips.
Will I have an opportunity to create a customised career plan?
Yes, that’s what this is all about. On top of the fortnightly topic sessions, Digital Mavens will also receive two-hour coaching sessions. This is where we deep dive into the course material allowing you to digest it and apply it to your own career plan.
Coaching sessions will be held every second week (learning one week, coaching the next) and are open to all women in the program. This is also your opportunity to network and build deeper connections with other course participants.
