    Here’s how the four weeks go.

    1. Before week 1

      You join a team.

      Pick a project and ask to join. The team sees your profile and a short note.

      “I built a React app for my club and want to work on maps.”

      Ask to join

    2. Week 1

      You meet your mentor.

      A first call to agree what you’ll build and who does what.

      • Priya: alerts

    3. Weeks 2–3

      You build, and your mentor checks in every week.

      About an hour a week: feedback on your code, and help when you’re stuck.

    Your profile proves what you actually did.

    • Skills are read from your code, not typed in.
    • Each project shows your part and your team.
    • Your mentor’s seal says who checked it.

    Try it: tap a skill, or the seal.

    That’s how you stand out: send recruiters one link, and they can check every line.

    Quick answers.

    Is it free?

    Yes. Workmark is free for students.

    How much time does it take?

    About 4 hours a week for 4 weeks. Each project lists its own hours before you join.

    Do I need experience?

    No. Each project says what it needs, so you can pick one that fits what you know.

    Who are the mentors?

    People working in industry, approved by Workmark. They mentor as themselves, not for their company.

    What do I get at the end?

    Verified work: the project on your profile, with your part, your team and your mentor’s seal. Share one link and anyone can check it.

    Can recruiters find me on Workmark?

    Only through the link you share. Employers can’t browse Workmark, so you decide who sees your work.
