Program Description
The Hyperledger internship program Mentorship Program is aimed at creating a structured hands-on learning opportunity for new developers contributors who may otherwise lack the opportunity to gain exposure to or entry into the Hyperledger open source development and entry to the technical community. It also provides a more defined path for Hyperledger to connect with the next generation of student developers and researchers to inject more talent into its developer basecommunity. Each intern mentee will apply and be matched with a mentor or mentors who are active developers contributors in the Hyperledger community. Each intern mentee will work remotely from his/her their location of choice. Regular evaluation and feedback will be provided. Interns Mentees will have the opportunity to showcase their learnings and contributions through blogging, speaking at meetups or regional events, or travel to a global Hyperledger conference/ event to meet their peers and mentors face- to -face and to present their internship work to work in person and network with others in the broader community.
