Would you love to inspire & teach others about software engineering? Want to help shape the careers of young professionals? Join this EdTech and develop your skills to become a Coach – full training provided!
Driven by a social mission, the Coaches at Multiverse are developing a diverse group of future leaders by offering an outstanding alternative to university and corporate training via professional apprenticeships. Join the team and make an impact!
So what’s the job? 👀
As an Associate Coach, you benefit from 3 months training at the Multiverse Coach Academy, developing both your technical, coaching, and teaching skills.
You will have the opportunity to shadow their existing coaches to see how they deliver, learn the curriculum, and get involved in interacting and meeting apprentices as Teaching Assistants within the sessions their coaches deliver.
After completing the 3-month training you will develop into a fully-fledged Coach where you will be coaching and mentoring 40-60 learners through their apprenticeship, introducing them to technical skills specific to their program, but also softer skills to help them navigate through the working world.
The Coach role allows you to develop your own experience (they have a highly experienced team) as well as in teaching/mentoring, whilst helping develop a diverse group of future leaders.
Your role will be delivering a mixture of small group workshops and boot camps plus one-to-one sessions, and supporting apprentices across incredibly exciting businesses to become the next generation of data leaders.
If you love inspiring and teaching others about software engineering, get a buzz from seeing young professionals develop and learn new skills, and truly care about building the next generation of developers, this is the role for you!
What does the Programme I would be teaching once trained look like? ✏️
Great question! You will be delivering a BCS Level 4 Software Developer apprenticeship program. For more information, here is a link to the BCS standards: https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/software-developer/
