When Mohammed Aleryani came to live in Rotterdam, he was ready to build a new future. Mohammed Aleryani graduated as a mechatronics engineer, but his real passion is programming. We paired him with Corina. She encouraged her mentee to follow his passion and showed him that, thanks to that passion, it is possible to find a job as a programmer in the Netherlands. Together, they gave his resume a major update, rehearsed job interviews and worked on his soft skills. And with success: Mohammed Aleryani started an internship in his sector!
But Corina & Mohammed Aleryani's DUO wasn't just about looking for work. At least as important was the strong relationship that the two built with each other. Mohammed Aleryani developed enormously in 6 months:
‍“I really felt different after 6 months with Corina. I'm much more confident. I know I can make mistakes, but I'm also able to fix them.”
And Corina has also had an important experience:
‍“Mohammed Aleryani expanded my world by telling a lot about his cultural background.”
