Finishing BSc Computer Science and Informatics at UJ, want to move into cloud
Kagiso M.
Cloud and DevOps · BSc CS and Informatics, UJ
Verified
Recommended because you’re interested in cloud engineering.
You do not need to know exactly what you want. Say it in your own words and we work backwards from there.
Your field, your stage, and what you are working towards. Paste a CV and we will fill most of it in for you to check.
In plain words. “I am finishing a BSc and want to get into cloud” is enough. So is “we install solar and need someone to train six technicians”.
Real mentors with a reason attached to each one. If nobody genuinely fits, we say so instead of padding the list.
If nobody genuinely fits, we say so.
Send a short message, meet, set goals, and track them. Stuck on the first message? We will draft one you can edit.
Your development journey starts here.
Free, and always will be.

Mentor is the name of the AI assistant built into iMentorLink — not one of the human mentors. It helps you work out what to do next and who to talk to, and it is built so it cannot invent a mentor, a bursary or a qualification, because the platform picks what it is allowed to mention before it ever answers.
What should I do before applying for bursaries?
How early should I start?
Can you tell me which of these mentors is verified?
Every person or opportunity it names is checked back against our own records before you see it. Anything it invents is dropped.
Verification is a person reading documents. Mentor is not told who is verified, so it cannot tell you either. The badge comes from us.
Turn AI help off in your settings and everything still works, matched on your profile instead. Nothing about you leaves the country.
Set goals, break them into milestones, and watch them move. Sessions, resources and attendance sit in one place, so both of you can see what is actually happening between conversations.
Started March · reviewed with your mentor every second week
Much of this platform is used by people finishing school. That is a responsibility, and these are the things we do about it rather than say about it.
Qualifications and identity documents are read by an administrator. No software decides who is verified, and no mentor appears in search until they are.
If you are under 18 we ask for a parent or guardian to confirm by email. Until they do, your account cannot be found in search and cannot message anyone.
Download everything we hold in one click, or ask us to delete it. Two-factor sign in, and a record of every security change on your account.
We will never ask for your ID number, banking details or a fee. No genuine bursary or job on iMentorLink asks you to pay to apply. If something here does, report it and tell us at info@imentorlink.co.za.
Find someone who has already walked the path you’re starting.
Partnering as a university, TVET, SETA or employer? Want to mentor? Something to report? One address, and a person reads it.
