Final Project

We challenge our graduates to a 6-weeks final project sprint, where they build open source projects with a social impact. During the final project spring, the students get acquainted with new skills, discover new ways to collaborate, processes and learn about the industry best practices that are expected in the local labor market.
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!
