Skills, mentorship and opportunities

diversity

DigiDiversity Mentorship Program is a social enterprise initiative by Career Bridge Foundation, empowering underrepresented talent with the skills, mentorship, and certifications to thrive in the world’s most in-demand digital careers.

DigiDiversity is more than a training program, it is a movement to break barriers in the digital economy. We connect talented individuals from underrepresented backgrounds with experienced industry mentors, real-world projects, and industry-recognized credentials. While our long-term plan covers multiple career pathways, we are launching with the "AI & Data Science Mentorship" as our first pilot program.


Our mission is to diversify the future of tech by equipping people with the skills, experience, and networks they need to succeed.
