Ambassadors of GirlsGoIT contributed to the development of Alumni Initiative
Since the programme launched in 2015, our member base keeps growing, a minimum of 240 girls graduates GirlsGoIT non-formal education yearly. These graduates are currently or about advancing their education in higher institutions and careers in IT. With the aim to start the Alumni Association, a design thinking workshop was organised with ambassadors to contribute/suggest ideas for the development of alumni association. The design thinking workshop has 3 focus areas: Ambassadors responded by writing their suggestions on a sticky note and post it on the affinity diagram "A person who finishes GirlsGoIT program but is still a part of the community "An alumni should be sympathetic, open-minded, to like their domain and to inspire people "A person who graduated from every course that GirlsGoIT offers and or graduated from university either here in Moldova or abroad "Talking about their experiences during GirlsGoIT events. Alumni should motivate those who want to be part of the team "Organise GirlsGoIT podcast with guest from IT fields e.g. female CEOs etc "Alumni that have acquired technical or soft skills can train GirlsGoIT participants through workshops in bootcamps where they teach the basics of their field and give an idea of what that field is and how it works "Alumni that have become successful in their field can be interviewed by other GGIT alumni so that they can share their academic and professional history to anyone that is curious or has an interest in IT "To make meetings in regions with girls/women, to give experience exchange "Being role models and encouraging girls to follow their dreams. Being a speaker and sharing stories and experiences Giving the aim to start GGIT alumni association and ideas generated at the design thinking workshop. GGIT Alumni Association will be formed based on these objectives: Prior to the design thinking workshop, we conducted a competitive benchmarking to learn what other use-cases (alumni programs) are doing to emulate.
