Answers from the Tenth Planet team for our queries.
1) The training is free for the participants - IT Jobseekers and
students. Our programmes are conducted only for unemployed graduates
and college students mostly from rural background.
2) The Mentors can volunteer and take part in these programmes and
contribute their time and share the knowledge to the jobseekers
community. There is no pay. We can take care of the food and local
travel arrangements. If we get any sponsors for the programmes then we
can pay the mentors accordingly.
3) Tenth Planet Open Source Foundation is a social enterprise which is
working towards reducing unemployment in the IT segment. For the past
5 years we have been conducting many free training programmes to
freshers on Foundation skills, Methodology skills, Product skills,
Business skills, Health & Wealth.
