What is your general impression of participating in Wargaming Forge? As mentors, what impressed you the most about the program?

Kiryl: It felt great to see young and talented people who showed potential, and to help them develop this potential.

Valeriya: It was wonderful! I consider it a win-win project for all parties: Students get a unique opportunity to get a new profession, start their career in a great company, get immersed in real projects, and learn from professionals. Mentors get the opportunity to develop their mentoring skills and acquire new knowledge from the program itself and gain new colleagues.       

I was impressed by the wealth of knowledge of the people who applied for our program. Some of them had an idea about the profession, while for others, this field was something completely new. And of course, we got several promising employees in our development team as a result.
