    What you’ll learn

    1:1 Mentorship

    On the final day of the program, get ready for Mentor Hour – your chance to connect one-on-one with real tech industry professionals. You’ll be placed in small breakout rooms so every conversation feels personal, not like a crowded networking event. This is your opportunity to ask real questions, hear honest stories about what it’s actually like to work in tech, and get advice tailored to your goals.

    And the connection doesn’t have to end when the hour does. If you and your mentor click, you can opt into an extended 3-month mentorship afterward to continue building that relationship long after the program wraps.
