    Communication in a cross-functional team

    Co.Lab provided me a real world platform to learn communication in a cross-functional team. Building an MVP and shipping it in 8 week was really challenging but we surmounted it by commitment and clear communication in an agile environment. I'm happy to be a Co.Laborator

    Awesome Experience

    I really wanted to pivot into Product Management but was unsure where to start or how to go about it. Most boot camps or coaches where extremely expensive until i came across  Co Lab. The people were welcoming and friendly, the live classes were something I looked forward cause it was an interesting time with the mentors and also the self study was well explained and easy to follow through and interesting as well as its never boring.

    Awesome experience

    It was a wonderful 8 weeks experience, having to build an MVP within a short term. Co.lab exposes you to the working industry; you get to work with a standard team, come up a detailed problem and solution statement, prioritize features, receive weekly feedback from your assigned mentor and then build.

    It is worth all the time and effort.

    It was an incredible experience

    I had an incredible experience during my program at Co.Lab. It was challenging, but it was also rewarding, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked with mentors from big tech companies like Microsoft.

    The mentors were knowledgeable, and experienced, and provided invaluable insights into the tech industry. They were always available to answer questions and offer guidance, and their real-world experience was particularly valuable in helping my team and me understand how t...

    Learning empathy

    The Co.lab bootcamp taught me that it's okay to be vulnerable, ask for help when you need to.
    It's not always about your technical ability, learning to communicate rightly is also very key especially when you are working with a cross-functional team.
    Setting achievable milestones is another thing I learnt during the bootcamp, it's a good way to track progress and know what is working and what is not.

    Interning at Co.lab as a product designer was a beautiful experience. I got to collaborate with my team members, and other students from different parts of the world, shared views, and communicated well, and the mentorship sessions were great. I would love to do this again

    Gained Valuable Work Experience and Co.Laborator Forever

    I am so glad I jumped the chance to join Co.Lab. It's not just a place of learning and gaining real-world experiences. Co.Lab is truly a welcoming community, especially for newcomers to tech. Since day 1, I felt supported by all. They practice what they preach. My confidence grew and I felt I belonged. Working with an international cross-function team was challenging but rewarding. I not only improved my tech skills but also gained practical skills for career planning and job interviewin...

    Software development

    During my time as a software developer at colab, I learned how to work in a cross-functional team to build an application that was scalable on different devices ranging from android, ios, and desktops. I have learned that taking an idea from the ideation stage depends on how effectively a team can communicate and share ideas to develop an MVP. It was really fun taking part in the implementation/brainstorming of ideas with the product manager, designer, and developer.

    Product Design Track

    I had a great experience overall with Co.Lab! Before joining this program, I didn't have the skills and experience to work in a cross-functional team but I was able to gain those skills that I wanted. Through working with a team and having a mentor, I was able to accomplish my goal of joining the program. The main reason why I'm not giving it a 5-star rating is that I felt the program does not provide feedback to students about their work performance and ways to challenge students. I wis...
