We are looking for experienced UX Designers with a passion for Voice-first design from all over the world to join our mentor pool, and help define the next generation of design talent by educating and empowering students across the globe.

Your Mission:

Mentoring with CareerFoundry is more than teaching. It’s inspiring newcomers to the field to build, to problem solve, to think like a designer, and to increase their value as professionals.

Mentor role:

Students need more than help and experience to master the necessary skills, they need inspiration and motivation to keep them focused along the way. You're their point of entry into a new industry, so they’ll want to hear about challenges you have overcome and what the role is really like on a day-to-day basis.

Tasks:

• Reviewing your students’ work through the CareerFoundry platform on a regular basis with a view on how it would fit into an industry-ready portfolio.
• Be available for 1-to-1 video calls to help prepare your students entry into their new industry.
• Suggesting supplemental learning materials and personal insights in areas where students are struggling.
• Teaming up with a tutor to answer more advanced queries or for a higher level of troubleshooting.
• Responding to students within < 48 hours.

The specialization course will take 1- 2 months to complete depending on whether the student studies part/full-time. It consists of approximately 15 text-based lessons supported by images, hands-on tasks, bite-sized video tutorials, and links to additional resources or further learning.
