Knowledge Circles for Impact Celebrates Milestone
Story Highlights
Women in Technology Hollywood’s (WiTH) Knowledge Circles for Impact endeavor, which offers mentorship “circles” in data science, design and product, emerging technology, cybersecurity, and women in leadership, is marking the completion of the first six-month cycle of the program this month.
On Nov. 8 at 5:30 p.m. PT, WiTH and Knowledge Circles will host a virtual closing ceremony to hear testimonies from participants of the program, with a keynote address by Julissa Hernández, STEM deputy to Assemblywoman Luz Rivas, 39th District.
A purpose-driven group mentorship program that connects high-performing, diverse technologists with access and opportunity to find executive allies and advocates in media, entertainment and technology, Knowledge Circles for Impact aims to empower participants to positively impact their communities and workplaces by coming together and influencing change.
Each mentorship circle offers those who join the opportunity to learn from peers, and grow their networking and professional development skills, with each circle meeting periodically over a six-month period, with group leaders determining the frequency and length of meetings, averaging a minimum of an hour a month.
Circles are rotated bi-annually to offer those in the program the opportunity to learn new areas of expertise.
