About Eskwelabs

Eskwelabs is an upskilling school in the Philippines, founded originally in Singapore in 2019 when it was launched out of the Antler incubator. The organization aims to empower people and teams with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in the digital future. Eskwelabs continuously works towards creating a future where work is meaningful and education is kind.

What is this role?

A mentor is an assistant to the instructor with existing knowledge of data tools and techniques, who is assigned to work with a specific group of learners to help them carry out their classroom activities. Mentors do not need to teach or prepare lessons, but they should be ready to help coach 4-6 students through the activities prepared by the instructor.

Why is this role important at Eskwelabs?

You may be familiar with education and training experiences where the primary form of learning is through the interaction between the instructor and the student. That’s not how it works at Eskwelabs.

In Eskwelabs, we believe in learning primarily through hands-on project work with coaching, which is where you can make a difference as a mentor. Our learners are organized in groups of 4-6 learners, introduced to concepts and tools in a classroom lecture by an instructor, and then released to breakout rooms or groups to work on assigned activities that build towards a final project. Inside the breakout groups, each group of learners works with their own mentor to carry out the assignment and clarify topics from the lecture. In this format, the mentor plays a crucial role as a coach and guide during the breakout room activities - many Eskwelabs learners have very fond memories of their mentor.

Mentors have repeatedly been described as one of the best aspects of learning with Eskwelabs

What will you do?

  1. Coach one group of 4-6 learners through an entire project, based on the activities assigned by the instructor.
  2. Support your learners to build the best project they can.
  3. Build a supportive and empathetic learning environment for your group, where everyone feels comfortable working together, tackling challenges, and making mistakes in a non-judgmental setting.
  4. Address student questions or share them to the instructor for class review.
  5. Provide feedback to program managers and instructors about your group’s learning progress.

Mentors work with the same group of students over the course of each learning project, allowing you to get familiar with your learners.
