Enki is dedicated to helping developers everywhere with their careers, and improve the average technical knowledge of everyone, and we need help with this mission!

There are three levels of fellowship available. Each comes with mentorship in educational theory and planning by experts, weekly 1:1s, formative feedback on your work and promotion of your work at the end.
