Being part of the team of mentors at DrupalCons for the last few years has been a wonderful experience and one that has really opened my eyes to the power of being at the heart of the community and working alongside great contributors. It enables learning in a way that watching videos, reading books, or attending training classes simply cannot.
Having begun working with a team who are looking to raise their game and who have not had the same opportunities as me to properly participate in our community before, I realised that the community is a key component in that growth.
In this session, we will look at the programme we are implementing and how working more and more with the Drupal community is intentionally built into that programme.
We will look at how I have been “selling” this community-led training approach to the key stakeholders in the business so we can fund trips to DrupalCons etc.
We will look at how this approach was received by the team members and how it is changing their approach to learning.
Finally, we will look at ways you can get involved!
