About the project

Our aim is to discover talents among teenagers aged 13-18 living in foster families and orphanages all over Belarus, which helps them take the first step towards a successful self-determination.

And we do it in three steps: online career guidance, motivational camp and professional internship.

Season 1: What will it be like?

A robot-guru offers to take a vocational test. After analysing the answers, it sends the teenager to pods corresponding to his professional preferences. Inside the capsules, participants can get:

an introduction to the masters of their profession,
books, films and useful links about the profession,
opportunity to create their first professional project.

Step 1. Robot-guru

The online career guidance platform on Telegram, where teenagers learn about modern professions in 18 areas.

After going through the robot-guru, each child will understand, which area of activity is suitable for them, based on their abilities and interests, and determine an educational trajectory for their development.

The start of the training
is June 2021.
