Mentorship programme
What the programme is
A lot of people finish a degree or a bootcamp in data or AI and then stall. They have the qualification but no clear idea what employers are actually looking for, no project they can talk about with confidence, and nobody to ask.
The mentorship programme pairs you with someone on our team who does this work every day. Together you agree what you want to achieve over the next eight to twelve weeks, whether that is a first role, a move into a more technical position or a specific skill, and you work towards it with a plan, weekly check-ins and direct feedback on what you produce.
You will spend most of the time building something: a portfolio project scoped to look like real work, reviewed the way we review each other’s work. Along the way your mentor will tell you how hiring actually happens in this field, what to leave off your CV and how to talk about your work in an interview.
What we ask of you
- Turn up prepared for your weekly session.
- Do the work between sessions; that is where the progress happens.
- Be open to feedback you may not want to hear.
Mentors give their time in small numbers, so we only take on people who are ready to put the hours in. If that is you, apply below.
What you get
- A plan with milestones, agreed with your mentor in the first session
- Guidance on a portfolio project that looks like real work
- A weekly check-in and specific feedback on what you have produced
