Entering into the tech industry can be overwhelming at times and I believe that programs like these can really make a difference for junior engineers. It is also a great opportunity for those who wish to gain more experience in handling the responsibilities of a more senior engineer or team lead.
"The open source mentorship provides a great way to provide a valuable learning experience fellows to be hands on with enterprise workflows like pipelines and complex cloud configurations. This can even help our customers better understand the technology they are using and enable them to contribute to the project, which can in turn improve the technology for everyone. "
When I was learning to code in 2018, volunteer mentors were pivotal in my growth and confidence as a software engineer. It feels so rewarding to be able to give back and be that person other mentors were for me. Engaging with a group that exhibits such a strong desire to learn challenges me to improve my communication skills to make sure I'm effectively explaining technical concepts.
"I've delivered many similar workshops, but had not yet experienced such an engaged, inquisitive group of folks as this group of fellows. Many have reached out and shared how they plan on applying the skills gained from the workshop and where they will go next in their research into the topic. Clearly, this community is nurturing a growth mindset"
Its easier to prepare when you've been in a room with a potential interviewer. Each year, how we interview is changing and our insights can ground how fellows should prioritize their extracurriculars, portfolio, and ultimately what they want out of their career especially when we come from nontraditional backgrounds.

Mentoring developers is not only a great way to develop your own leadership and teaching skills. I've returned for each session because the fellows are motivated and it's rewarding to see how quickly they can improve with a little guidance.

Teaching fellows has taught me that not everything exists in docs or community discussions, a lot of what we're passing on is the best practices we've learned internally. With an open source community like this, fellows are constantly passing on what they learn and this is how we can build organic community enablement for our tools.
