First class training & coaching

Professional training and coaching in cooperation with top-notch schools. Sweet Spot’s trainings are interactive, experiential, and personal.

Training and coaching are held on a weekly basis. Significantly less intrusive for your job compared to 1 or 2-day intensive sessions, while giving you time to apply what you learned. Learning takes time, and by taking that time, Sweet Spot creates a continuous growth trajectory during your time abroad.

Working and living abroad is a catalyst for personal and professional growth, pushing you to adapt to the unfamiliar, stretch out of your comfort zones, and learn new things. Your sense of adventure and your commitment to your career converge in Sweet Spot’s remote professional experiences.

THE CONCEPT

Remote Development Experience

Embark on a journey of professional growth with a Remote Development Experience. We understand that development is a process that requires time and dedication, which can be challenging amidst high workloads. That’s why we’ve reimagined the traditional approach to development. Our experiences eliminate the need for professionals to make trade-offs between training and work, as we believe these two should complement each other. A Remote Development Experience creates an immersive environment where professionals can thrive.

WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?

Pick your Development Track

Being away from the distractions and routines of life back home gives professionals the headspace to dig deep into their work and learn something new. We embrace functional learning, celebrate the power of play, stimulate a collaborative mindset and fuel growth through a continuous approach.

 

 Talent Track

 

Embark on an adventure of self-discovery and growth! The Talent Track is designed for young professionals who want to ignite their full potential.

 

 

 Social Impact Track

 

Work with a Social Impact organization in Cape Town and bring your skills to the table. Gain new perspectives on challenges and possibilities out there. 

 

 

 Remote Team Track

 

Work together in a way you have never before. We bring your team together to connect and work towards goals you set out. All tailor-made to the company’s needs and wishes.
