Summary

Twilio is launching the Twilio Heroes program, a 6-month skill development program for software developers interested in improving their all-around skill set, making a difference in developer communities, and learning about developer evangelism. The program will consist of four tracks: Technical Writing and Content, Completing a Project, Hosting a Hack/Developer Event, and Public Speaking. Participants will work on projects, check in with mentors for feedback, and have the freedom to work at their own pace. The program aims to introduce developers to new concepts, broaden their skills, provide them with developer-centric tools and resources, and positively impact their communities. The application process involves submitting an initial application and completing a form with basic interview questions. A maximum of 12-15 applicants will be admitted to the program, which is designed to feel like a skill development accelerator rather than a class.
