Deutsche Telekom Digital Labs is redefining how women return to the workforce after career breaks, offering mentorship, skill-building workshops, and flexible opportunities that help create an inclusive environment.

For many women, re-entering the professional world after a career break can feel daunting. Whether stepping away for maternity leave, caregiving, or other personal reasons, returning to work often comes with challenges that can undermine confidence and potential. Recognising these realities, Deutsche Telekom Digital Labs has created a return-to-work initiative “We-Rise” that bridges the gap, enabling women to step back into their careers with flexibility and enhanced skills.

Specialised Training

Through specialised training in technology and digital transformation opportunities, participants are equipped to navigate the complexities of modern workplaces. This ensures that each participant receives the support and environment needed for a successful transition back to work.

Mentorship

Returning to work can be overwhelming, but having a trusted mentor can make all the difference. The We Rise initiative is designed to pair participants with seasoned professionals who provide guidance, career advice and insights. These mentors play a crucial role in helping women regain their footing in the tech industry and progress with their career.

Community

The program brings together women with shared aspirations creating an inclusive community to exchange stories, find encouragement, and celebrate successes together. Participants get more than a career restart, they become part of an inclusive community of like-minded women.

Driving Broader Change

We Rise is part of Deutsche Telekom Digital Labs' broader commitment to diversity and inclusion in the work space. Initiatives like the Leap Ahead, their internal mentoring program and the Magenta Women, their women focused Employee Resource Group add to their commitment to creating an inclusive environment for women in the tech industry.
