Part-time internship

The main reason why all novice specialists cannot find a PAID job with a product in top IT companies is the lack of experience in creating and launching IT products in the resumes that you have worked on. But we have already found a SOLUTION for you:

We have partnered with the largest IT companies in Kazakhstan, as part of the training, they will provide you with a part-time internship, with which you will be able to:
apply all the skills you are learning in practice (it has been proven that this way training becomes much more effective)
establish yourself as an excellent specialist and get an offer at the end of the bootcamp
to get cases in your resume, which will be very useful to you when applying to other companies.

I am implementing a tool for product managers from Yerke right at my workplace. Our platform already benefits greatly from this. Previously, I tried to take other courses on how to create a roadmap or work in Tilda, but many points remained unclear. Yerke put everything in its place, and the opportunity to review our lessons to this day has a positive effect on my work.

Yerke helped me with the management of creating a new LMS (learning management system) at Juz40, I managed to assemble a good team and the work became more systematic.

Batyr Nokeev

I received an offer to work at Citrix with a salary 40% higher than it was in the initial fork in the position 3 weeks after the start of training. The interview preparation questions that Yerke prepared me for turned out to be exactly the ones that the hiring manager from Citix asked.

I really like the format of the meetings and the structure of the lessons. Initially, I planned 1.5 hours for meetings, but they often finished earlier, since there is nothing superfluous in the discussions, only the necessary information. The joint analysis of errors from previous work helped a lot. I like the fact that Yerke is always in touch, you can just talk to him and have an interesting time.

Aktolkin Bektemir

I understand that getting into a company supported by YC is a difficult task. But the mindset change I get from mentoring is exactly what I need to have the right attitude towards my goal.

Askar Kurmanov

Before I met Yerke, I had a vague idea of how to get an offer from a technology company and what I needed to do. We went through my strengths and weaknesses and built an individual growth strategy.

Madi Askarov

previously: Product Manager at Hitba
after: Product Manager at Teachers Lab
May, 2023

I like the structure and visual additions to the lessons. I go to meetings as if I were going to work and communicate with an older specialist. It was initially important for me to get some advice and assignments from seniora, in addition, you have experience in a similar field, so your advice and opinion are very helpful.

Zhuldyzay Tleubergen

previously: Product manager at Smart Satu
after: Product analyst at Kaspi
Jun, 2023

Already at the first meeting, I realized that you understand me and my case and know how to help me. We paid attention to details and improved the layout together. You feel competent, all the incomprehensible points have been explained on your fingers, there is no feeling that you are talking according to a ready-made script.

Temirlan

Before mentoring with Yerke, I accepted several job offers without signing contracts. As a result, after 1 month, the employers refused to pay me. I don't do it anymore.
