We know we aren’t the only mentorship programme in the data space, but many out there are designed for recent graduates and students, or to encourage business users to become more data savvy.
What about the people already in our industry? Here at Orbition, we provide a way for people to develop, upskill, and progress who are already in our market.
Most organisations have very small Data Analytics teams/functions, and as such don’t have the resources to offer substantial development, upskilling, and progression schemes.
Our goal is to offer unparalleled development opportunities to the brightest minds who are already working within the Data & Analytics industry, and who have the potential to be the future leaders, in every sense, of our community.
This programme seeks to serve those on their career journey from senior manager and upwards.
How does it work?
Register Your Interest
Whether you’re looking to grow as a mentee or give back as a mentor, your journey starts here. Simply let us know you’re interested in joining the programme.
Tell Us About You
You’ll complete a detailed form where you’ll share your goals, interests, experience, and what you’re hoping to get out of the mentorship. This helps us understand what kind of match will truly make an impact.
We Make the Match
Behind the scenes, we carefully pair you with a mentor or mentee who aligns with your ambitions. We go beyond just the form; our team draws on deep knowledge of our community to find the right fit for you.
Meet Your Match
Ahead of the cohort launch in June or November, we’ll introduce you to your partner via email. This is where the journey truly begins. One year of shared growth, insights, and connection.

Once introduced, you’ll gain access to the Driven by Data Member Portal, packed with tools, templates, session guides, and support materials to help you get the most from your mentorship.
