Education

Our Focus

Deliver coaching and mentoring support, so mentees are guided in the direction that best uses their strengths.
Create learning environments that encourage exploration and discovery which allows mentees to narrow down available career and entrepreneurship options before pursuing areas that don’t fit.
Prepare talent that is performance driven and has the necessary commitment and skills to work on dynamic product delivery teams.
Provide opportunities for engagement in team pilot projects and/or competitions to hone skills.
Provide mentor/mentee stipends and resources to ensure that typical barriers such as WiFi and hardware accessibility hardships are removed.
Create entrepreneurs of tomorrow in emerging tech through proper incubation and acceleration.

Organizational (Mentor) Training

To maintain leadership in technology, companies need to increase diverse impact. The benefits include a broader audience understanding, greater product identifiability, accessibility, enhanced ability to spot market gaps, and avoidance of cultural pitfalls.

BTMP’s training educates participants on how to remove barriers to innovation and welcome the benefits of diversity. The objective of our training is to teach the skills necessary to increase efficiency, communication, and overall satisfaction of your employees.

Change can be messy. We work with our partners to assess the cultural landscape, create a collaborative roadmap, and deliver training that fits your specific needs.

Ready to Work

Great technologists are hard to find and harder to keep.

BTMP talent undergoes a demanding process working through a development plan that is customized to see them succeed. Mentees gain abilities to reduce team friction and maximize collaboration. Technology needs people who are ready to hit the ground running.

We foster a drive in our mentees to run through the finish line, whether that is funding a new company or securing a new job.

Get Started

It’s never too late to start.

No one will do it for you. You must step on the path alone.

Though help is never too far away.
