What is TechUp?

TechUp is an online training academy that runs bootcamps and courses for individuals wanting to start a career in tech. By broadening access to high-paying, high-quality jobs, we strengthen social and economic mobility in Thailand while also accelerating the country’s digital transformation. We are now partnering with Eskwelabs, a data bootcamp provider from the Philippines, to jointly launch a part-time Data Analytics Bootcamp in Thailand. Our first cohort of 20-30 learners will start in late October. We are looking for part-time Data Analytics Mentors who will coach and support our learners along their journey to develop the skills needed to launch their Data Analytics careers.

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 5 students through the activities prepared by the instructor. Working time consists of the following schedule, starting from 28 October to 21 December:

• Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 18.00-21.00
• Every other Saturday, 13.00-16.00

The role is fully remote.

Why is this role important?

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.

We believe in learning data 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 5, introduced to concepts and tools in a Zoom classroom lecture by an instructor, and then released to breakout rooms to work on assigned activities that build towards a final project. Inside the breakout rooms, 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 learners have very fond memories of their mentor

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

What are your responsibilities?

• Coach one group of 5 learners through an entire data project, based on the activities assigned by the instructor. All learners are Thai-speaking.
• Support your learners to build the best data project they can.
• 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.
• Address student questions or share them to the instructor for class review.
• Update 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.

• Role as a data professional in your full-time job (e.g. BI Analyst, Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Data Visualization Analyst, Data Engineer, etc.) for more than 6 months where you utilize data tools (e.g. Excel, SQL, PowerBI, Tableau, Python, R, etc.)
