✨ What is Co.Lab?

**Co.Lab** builds confidence through learning by doing, empowering and connecting aspiring technologists to ship products through collaboration.

Essentially, we put motivated folks across Product Management, Design and Development into agile groups, to ideate and launch a real product within 9 weeks.

Upcoming Cohort:

Looking for a way to give back to the next generation of technologists? Want to have the experience of supporting folks as they take a product from ideation to launch? See your guidance make an impact on their journey into their tech careers?

Plus, you'll get to meet, connect and learn from like-minded industry experts just like you!

We are looking for Project Mentors to support the aspiring Product Managers, UX designers and Developers throughout the program.

♟ What is a Project Mentor?

As a Project Mentor for Co.Lab, you’ll act as a VP of product and will be assigned a few groups, each consisting of 3-4 people across product, design and engineering.

Your goal is to enable your groups to participate in the simulation of working on a real product team and experience the different challenges they may face while bringing an idea to life. As a result, you’ll guide them through the tactical, strategic and emotional tests of taking their product from ideation to launch within nine weeks.
