Six months ago, Indo2SV, in partnership with Indonesia Mengglobal started its second batch of Mentorship Program. Indo2SV, an initiative started by Indonesians who work in Silicon Valley, aims to help Indonesian college students to get software engineering internships in Silicon Valley.

In November 2015, we selected eight mentees through a rigorous selection process, which includes online coding/algorithm challenges, resumes, essays, and Skype interviews. Finally, we paired 8 chosen mentees with mentors who gave them weekly Skype calls that include recitations of algorithmic concepts, mock interviews, resume revisions, and communication skills. Our mentors are Indonesian professionals currently working at Facebook, Google, Quora, Equifax, Addepar and Siftscience.

We are proud to share that these five mentees have received an internship offer from Silicon Valley’s leading companies in the technology industry:

  1. Sharon Lynn – NUS ’17 – Google
  2. Prajogo Tio – NTU ’16 – Google
  3. Vincent Sebastian – ITB’17 – Google
  4. Nathan Azaria – NUS ’16 – Facebook
  5. Fariskhi Vidyan – UI ’16 – Mozilla

In the coming months, some of Indo2SV mentors and mentees will share their experience and tips through Indonesia Mengglobal. Through these efforts, we hope that their experience and expertise will be available and beneficial for other Indonesian college students interested in software engineering, and other software engineering enthusiasts.

Do not miss the application for the next batch of Indo2SV, which will be opened around May or June 2016. Check out indo2sv.com for more details!

As the organizers and Indonesians in Silicon Valley, we are excited to encourage more Indonesians to come work and learn here. We fully intend to make this program better and bigger every year. If you want to contribute or help us in our mission, feel free to send us a friendly email at contact@indo2sv.com
