How to mentor young developers?

Our team organises internships each year, welcoming fresh energy, and the chance to give back to the community by mentoring young developers. Previous feedback helped us in building a great program, along with the insight from this year’s mentors with diverse experience and knowledge. We consider this year’s program a success, highlighted by the production-ready Monster Therapy Analytics project, great memories, and the hiring of five out of eight interns.

The mentors’ retrospective reveals satisfaction in sharing knowledge and learning from the interns. Each mentor ended the internship with their passion for mentorship fueled, and thankfulness for their personal and professional growth. We are already looking forward to an even better internship experience in 2025.
