Mentorship
Mentorship is a differentiator of professional success
Alongside our courses you might be assigned one of our mentors. These are dedicated working professionals who will support you in navigating from technical concepts to the secrets of the industry in order to get you ready to apply your newly acquired skills.
​
Our mentors are your partners throughout your learning journey with us. Besides class instructors, who deliver the learning experience for you to grasp and understand, your mentor works with you on an individual level. This means at GTA your learning is personalised to you instead of just receiving one-way information.
During your time with us your mentor will:
01
guide you through the curriculum, help familiarise you with industry tools, answer your questions and remove potential blockers
03
provide industry guidance and an insider’s perspective of the workings in your chosen industry
02
help you plan, create and structure excellent portfolio projects that will make you stand out to future employers
