Tech Mentor's Past and Future of Accompaniment Support | A Journey Embodying "Skill Acquisition is Not the Goal" and Future Prospects

if Inc. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "the Company"), which operates the programming school "Tech Mentor," is re-announcing its past initiatives in accompaniment support and its future prospects.

Tech Mentor is an online school that supports individuals in achieving their goals, such as career change, side business, and app development, focusing on programming, web design, and generative AI. Defining "achieving goals" as the objective, rather than "completing the course," we have supported students' next careers through one-on-one accompaniment by dedicated mentors and custom curriculum design.

Reasons Why Many People Choose Us - What Tech Mentor Has Built

Tech Mentor attracts students of all ages and backgrounds, from those in their 20s seeking employment to those in their 50s looking for a career change. Many students are in situations generally considered difficult for career change or starting a side business, such as being "inexperienced," "over 30," "living in rural areas," or "balancing with childcare." Each student comes to us with different goals.

Support System That Has Responded to the Diverse Goals of Many People

Custom Curriculum Working Backwards from Goals

At Tech Mentor, we conduct interviews with each student upon enrollment to understand their goals, lifestyle, and study time, and then design a monthly study plan tailored to them. Whether aiming for a career change, a monthly income of 100,000 yen from a side business, or promoting AI utilization within their company, the curriculum content differs for each individual, even within the same course. The approach of "creating a curriculum that fits the goal" rather than "fitting oneself into a standardized curriculum" leads to high completion rates and results.

One-on-One Accompaniment by Dedicated Mentors

Dedicated mentors, who are active engineers and freelancers, provide support through regular meetings (selectable from weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) and question responses via Slack. This system prevents setbacks by providing comprehensive support, not only for managing study progress but also for career counseling and motivation.

Diverse Courses Tailored to Goals, Including Career Change, Side Business, and AI Utilization

Initially, our courses focused on web engineer career changes and web production side businesses. However, we have expanded our lineup to meet the needs of the AI era, now offering courses such as Generative AI Engineer Course, Vibecoding (AI-driven development), and Claude Code Business Efficiency Course. Our main courses are certified as Specialized Practical Training (Skills Acquisition Program for the 4th Industrial Revolution), and we can support up to 80% of tuition fees with subsidies.

Environment for Continuous Learning After Graduation

For Tech Mentor, "graduation does not mean the end of support." All curriculum materials are available for unlimited viewing, and additional learning materials on AI and the latest technologies are provided regularly. We have a system in place where mentor support can be utilized on a monthly basis when needed, providing an environment for continuous growth even after completing the course.

Future Prospects

Tech Mentor will continue to be a support window for all career paths requiring IT professionals, and as a school that supports future-oriented design goals, we will proceed with "enhancing our course lineup and continuously improving the quality of our support."

Leveraging the track record of achievements of each student built up so far, we plan to expand our support for "achieving career goals" for a wider range of people.
