IBM is sponsoring places for tertiary students with a disability in the Willing and Able Mentoring (WAM) Program.  Students with a disability applying for the IBM specific opportunity will need to be studying IT and/or a Business degree. The opportunity will provide students who have a disability, the opportunity to showcase their talents and gather essential information and experience for the vital transition from education to the competitive world of employment.

The WAM program is designed to match selected students/job seekers with mentors from IBM Australia in career areas relevant to each person’s aspirations. Mentees will be expected to attend several meetings with their mentor (a minimum of eight hours in total over three months).  Mentors will provide advice, insight and a range of opportunities to enhance mentees knowledge of their chosen field of work. Mentees will also be required to attend a briefing session at the start of the program, and a debriefing and certificate presentation event at the conclusion of the program (The mentoring sessions will be held in or near IBM offices).

Mentors are available in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra
