Empowering Drupal developers: redefining training and mentorship

Empowering Drupal developers: redefining training and mentorship

Yevgeniya Kobrina (Yevko)

In this session, I'll share a story of several years on developing company's mentoring and training programs. In the beginning, they lacked organization and a coherent structure. I brought there my experience as a mentor and my love for Drupal. I learned a lot from trainees feedback and saw firsthand the challenges they faced with real projects and company training sessions. And decided to make the path to becoming a Drupal developer smoother and more rewarding.

We refined the mentor selection process and began prepping them well in advance for their roles.We also made improvements to the training plan and added offline learning resources for extra support. Next, we completely revamped the Drupal training segment and added practical tasks to reinforce the learning.

As a result of these efforts, we have a well organized training framework to support mentors and developers in accelerating their proficiency in Drupal.
