About the Role

What we're looking for

We're looking for professionals who enjoy sharing their expertise and helping others learn.

You don't need to be a professional educator. Many of our mentors come directly from industry and bring valuable real-world experience into the classroom. If you're passionate about coaching others and continuously learning yourself, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll do

• Coach learners as they work through hands-on projects and practical activities.

• Provide constructive, actionable feedback that supports learner growth.
• Encourage collaboration, confidence, and a positive learning experience.
• Share industry insights and real-world best practices.

What you won't do

We recognize that our mentors are busy professionals, so we've designed the role to fit alongside your existing commitments.

You will not be expected to:

• Create learning materials from scratch.
• Deliver full lectures or develop curriculum.
• Complete work outside agreed mentorship commitments.
• Participate in on-site sessions unless you choose to join projects that require them.

What you'll gain

• Inspire professionals as they build practical, future-ready skills.
• Develop your leadership, coaching, and mentoring abilities.
• Collaborate with experienced educators and industry practitioners.
• Access Eskwelabs learning materials and professional development resources.
• Enjoy flexible project-based engagements that fit alongside your career.
• Earn additional income through paid mentorship opportunities.
