• A mentorship app is a digital platform designed to facilitate mentor-mentee relationships, offering guidance, knowledge, and support to individuals seeking personal or professional development. These apps connect users with experienced mentors who can share their expertise, insights, and wisdom in various fields. Mentorship apps provide a structured framework for communication, goal setting, and progress tracking. They often offer features like messaging, video calls, and goal-setting tools, making it convenient for mentees and mentors to engage in meaningful, ongoing relationships. These apps are especially valuable for career growth, skill enhancement, and personal empowerment. Whether you’re a young professional looking for career guidance or someone aiming to acquire new skills, a mentorship app can serve as a valuable resource on your journey of self-improvement and success.
Development of a Mentoring Application With the advent of COVID-19, we don’t know when the next pandemic will emerge and with the socio-political crisis in the North west, Southwest and Northern regions of Cameroon, it is important to develop a mentoring app where mentors and mentees will interact easily to promote female academic excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in areas of excelling in their academics and research.

In order to support junior and early career female researchers in STEM, we will allow them to send requests to mentors through the app where they will be mentored. These requests will be visible in the candidate’s personal area/ portal and the candidates will be able to accept or reject them based on area of research in STEM.
