We’re excited to announce an opportunity for students to connect with employees at GitHub ahead of GitHub Universe 2022! This year, the conference will take place virtually and in-person November 9-10 and to kick the week off, we’re thrilled on behalf of GitHub Social Impact, to host virtual Micro-Mentoring sessions for the fourth year in a row.

As part of our ongoing commitment to drive positive and lasting contributions to the world with GitHub products, our brand, and our employees, we’re providing an opportunity for 30-minute, 1:1 Micro-Mentoring sessions for students with GitHub employees.

This is a time to engage with industry experts on career pathing. From resume feedback, to goal planning and skill development, this is a time to connect personally and professionally like-minded individuals. We will have two tracks, Day 1 Resume and Day 2 Technical Career Pathing.

Here’s what one past participant had to say about the experience:

I was fairly nervous when I met with the GitHub micro-mentor because I’m not used to having the opportunity of speaking with people in tech about my career goals and resume. Through this experience, I learned a lot about tech and myself. I feel a lot more confident about applying to Software Engineer Internships and consulting work after this experience.

How to take part:

  • Each slot will consist of a virtual 1:1 session with a GitHub employee for 30 minutes on Monday, November 7, 2022 for the resume session and Tuesday, November 8, 2022 for the technical career pathing session between 4:00 am-10:30 am PT. Please note there is limited availability.
  • Please use this link to apply.
