What is the Learn On! program?
Learn On! is a skill-boosting program created for ambitious UI/UX specialists. It’s not a traditional course but a personalized, practice-oriented mentorship program that allows participants to quickly advance to a new professional level. Participants work on real projects with a strong-middle or senior mentor, receiving continuous feedback and guidance.
The main idea of the program is to help Junior-level specialists reach the Middle level within 4 months. And that’s not just a bold claim — the program is tailored individually to each participant’s goals and includes plenty of practice. Throughout the program, participants work closely with a mentor who is an experienced Strong-middle or Senior specialist.
During the program, you will get:
- Guidance from experienced mentors
- An individual intensive learning program in UI/UX from Junior to Middle level
- Development of both soft and hard skills
- Technical knowledge
- Plenty of practical experience
- Teamwork skills
- Access to Sigma Software Group’s internal learning materials
- A community of like-minded professionals to reach out to for support
Our goal is to expand your knowledge and improve your UI/UX skills so that you can grow in your career and move up to the next professional level.
