Pay it forward. Make it count.
The A4E mentor network is the single biggest reason our graduates stay employed and keep growing. If you've been through the program — or you work in tech and want to invest in the next wave — one hour a month changes a career trajectory.
- 1 hour per month minimum — 30 minutes 1:1 with your mentee, plus async support.
- Monthly cohort office hours — drop in, answer career questions, trade notes with other mentors.
- Role-match first — we pair you with a mentee in your track and industry.
- Optional project reviews — code, portfolio, resume, negotiation — pick what you enjoy.
- Recognition, not extraction — named on the alumni summit, optional LinkedIn endorsement.
