English, but the preferred language can be agreed with your mentor. We encourage you to focus and stick to the English language, because it is the main one in the IT world.

1st step – based on the chosen field, your goal and expectations of the program & mentor, etc.

2nd step – a test

3rd step – 1 on 1 interview with a potential mentor.

Practice projects are about offering a chance to prove yourself in real-life (or close to) IT projects – to practice already acquired skills in their chosen track, experience an IT team synergy and teamwork specifics, and simply ‘learn-by-doing’ all through the project life-cycle. Guided and supported by a team mentor and a subject matter expert.

Yes, participation in the practice projects is a crucial part of the program as you will be learning through the practice.

Practice projects together with 1o1 mentoring will take approximately 8-10 h per week.

First step – mentors meet the projects during the onboarding phase, projects are adjusted by mentors if necessary, mentors choose their project as a project team lead.

Second step – after the matchmaking phase (when the mentee has had a match with the mentor 1:1), mentees will be added to the teams made by the RTG team and support of project team mentors.

• At the beginning of the mentorship relationship, both the mentor and the mentee should clarify their goals, expectations, and what they hope to achieve through the mentorship. This might involve discussing the specific areas of growth, skills and mentees experience.
• Meetings should have a clear agenda. Mentees should come prepared with questions, topics they’d like to discuss, or challenges they’re facing. The mentor might also provide guidance, share resources, and suggest actionable steps for the mentee to take between meetings.
• Feedback and Reflection: Regular feedback sessions help the mentee understand their progress and areas for improvement. Reflection on achievements and challenges can be beneficial for setting future goals.
• How frequently should I expect to have meetings with my mentor?

The frequency of mentor-mentee meetings can vary. Some mentorships involve  regular weekly or bi-weekly meetings, while others might meet less frequently, such as once a month. The schedule should be agreed based on the availability of both the mentor and the mentee.

• Can I work full time while in the program?
  Absolutely, the program is designed to accommodate both full-time jobs and     studies. However, please keep in mind that dedicating time and effort is essential. Remember, you’ll have:
  • monthly or weekly  sessions with a mento,
  • monthly meetups lasting,
  • practice projects,
  • additional events to attend.
