Towards a job: Mentorship Program

Career guidance is an essential part of our program, as the real challenge for our graduates is finding an internship or job as a junior web developer.

Thanks to our voluntary mentors, we offer our students a career guiding journey when graduating from our program. Each student has its own mentor, who helps with updating their CV and LinkedIn profile, writing a motivation letter, doing a mock interview, and leading them through the job-hunting jungle in the IT sector

Career Skills Sessions

On Sunday mornings, before class starts, we regularly organize Career Skills Sessions. These are inspirational sessions by experts, within and outside the IT and HR sector, to share their knowledge with our community. It can be about how to organize a healthy work environment, it may as well be about how to constantly keep updated as a junior web developer. In other words, highly valuable mornings!
