Help Techways with 20 volunteers for Mentor Our Students: Build Confidence & Freelancing
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
At Techways, we run a Web Development Program where students learn to build beautiful websites and then participate in a 10-week business and freelancing course. This second part of the program is designed to equip them with the skills they need to earn online, market themselves, and work with clients. We are currently looking for passionate individuals to host a 30–45 minute online mentor session (on a Tuesday or Thursday). Sessions are informal, interactive, and focused on sharing practical insights and advice with students who are just getting started in the freelancing world. Here are some of the topics we cover: Personal Branding & Building a Digital Portfolio CV Writing & LinkedIn Optimization Introduction to Freelancing Platforms Entrepreneurship 101 Financial Literacy & Money Management Time Management & Productivity Tools Client Communication & Relationship Building Legal & Contract Basics Marketing Yourself as a Freelancer Career Pathways & Next Steps Confidence Building Networking & Client Building If you feel aligned with any of the above topics and would like to inspire and guide our students, we’d love to hear from you!
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
