Over the following three months, participants will learn from their mentors via an approved learning path. They will also take part in monthly assessments.

In order to complete the program, mentees will have to publish a project they have worked on during the program. They may also have to either publish a technical article or speak publicly on a technical theme.

The top mentees will receive a course from a learning platform (which SCA selects) and will take on a junior mentor role in SCA.

Applications will remain open until June 19, 2022.
