Mentorship

The SKETech Mentorship is running now.

A structured programme for people who want to get genuinely good at software or architecture. Not a webinar series, not a group chat, not a certificate you print at the end.

Applications open

Rolling intake. We review applications every week and reply either way, including when the answer is no.

What you get

A mentor who does the work

You are matched with someone practising in your sector day to day, in software or architecture. Not a generalist reading from a curriculum they downloaded.

Real briefs, marked honestly

You work on actual problems and your work comes back annotated: line by line for code, drawing by drawing for design. Praise is specific and so is criticism.

Fixed hours, every week

Scheduled sessions you can build a week around, plus written feedback in between. We hold the time; you show up for it.

Work you can show

You finish with a portfolio piece you can put in front of an employer or a client, and a reference from the person who supervised it.

Who it is for

  • Students and recent graduates in computer science, IT, or architecture
  • Self-taught people who can already build a little and want structure around it
  • Working professionals moving into software or architecture from another field
  • Anyone who can commit real hours each week and wants to be told the truth about their work

We would rather run this with ten serious mentees than a hundred names on a list. Places are limited by how many people our specialists can supervise properly.

Apply

This is an application, not a mailing list. Tell us enough to judge it seriously.

Be realistic. We plan around this.

Anything you have made. Rough work is fine. We would rather see it than not.

What you want to be able to do at the end, and what you have tried so far.
