For many people, technology feels scary and out of reach. A computer looks confusing, the internet feels complicated, and working in tech seems impossible. But with the right mentor, everything changes. At Simplified IT Institute (SIT), we’ve seen how one person’s guidance can open a whole new future.

Esther’s Story

When Esther joined SIT at 25, she had never even typed on a computer. She thought digital skills were too difficult for her. But with the patient help of a mentor, she learned step by step. Soon, she built her very first website.

Today, Esther dreams of becoming a web developer and wants to inspire other young women like herself. Her story shows how mentorship can turn fear into confidence and self-doubt into possibility.

What Mentorship Really Gives

Mentorship is more than just teaching skills. It gives learners:

Opportunity: connecting them to people, jobs, and resources they may not find alone

Guidance: showing them what to do and why it matters

Confidence:  helping them believe they can succeed

It Helps Both Sides

Mentorship doesn’t just help the student it helps the mentor too. Many mentors find joy and purpose in supporting others. The relationship creates growth for both people.

Why It Matters

A mentor gives more than knowledge. They give hope, courage, and a partner on the learning journey. And the impact doesn’t stop there. Many students go on to guide others, spreading opportunities even further

How You Can Help

At SIT, we believe mentorship is one of the strongest ways to close the digital gap. You don’t need to be an expert just willing to share what you know.

Whether you’re a tech professional, a student, or simply someone who cares, your mentorship can change a life.
