Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the dates of the program?

Digital Leap is a three-month mentoring program starting on Monday 8th July and finishing on Friday 27th September.

Applications for this program are due on Friday 14th June.

How much time do I have to commit to the program each week?

Participants must be able to commit at least two hours (two sessions) a month to meeting with their mentor, alongside the program’s welcome and celebration events.

In-between these mentoring sessions, it is expected that participants actively work to implement their technology adoption goals. Mentors will monitor their participant’s progress throughout the program and provide support for any questions, uncertainties or drawbacks they experience.

How will mentors be paired with participants?

We will match each participant with a Digital Leap mentor who has experience in their ‘target area’, and can therefore best help them to achieve their technology adoption goals.

The team at Humble will also support you and your partner throughout the course of the program to get the most out of your mentoring.

What does the program cost?

Thanks to the funding from the City of Moreton Bay and the volunteered time of our expert mentors, there is no cost for participating in the Digital Leap program.

Will the mentoring sessions be in person or online?

As not all of our Digital Leap mentors are based in Moreton Bay, mentoring sessions will happen either in person or online according to each party’s availability.

Mentoring pairs will, however, get to meet in person at our opening event and will meet up again at our celebration event, to share the progress they have made throughout the program.
