From Trainee to Volunteer
Background
When Graduates finish the course they often want to give back to CodeYourFuture and support the next class coming through after them. We actively encourage this so that they
Keep their programming skills in practice
Expand their understanding of coding by teaching and mentoring
Continue to be part of our community
Process
Before a Graduate can become a volunteer they should
Sign the volunteer agreement
Attend a Welcome Event
Roles
When a Graduate first volunteers there are a few roles that they would be really good at
Reviewing work of applicants going through the application process
They understand what makes a good trainee at CodeYourFuture really well
They’ve all been through the process themselves
Being a Teaching Assistant during lessons
Being a Zoom Admin during lessons
Individual mentoring for struggling students
Recent Graduates should not be
Lead Trainers
Until they have professional experience they won’t have the depth of knowledge required to be a Lead Teacher
Buddies
Graduates can offer 1:1 support to students but shouldn’t have a whole buddy group to look after as they should be focusing on their Job Search.
