Career Workshops
Feature Detail
Description
Career Workshops supports the mentor-guided group sessions used by organizations like Norges Blindeforbund, where experienced coordinators run structured two-day career development workshops for peer mentors. The feature provides tools for listing available workshops, managing participant registrations, and giving facilitators a lightweight in-app toolkit — including notes, to-do lists, and participant lists — to run sessions effectively. It is designed for small-group facilitation rather than large-scale course delivery.

Analysis
Career workshops are a key mechanism for deepening peer mentor competency and fostering community within organizations such as Blindeforbundet, which runs formalized two-day mentorship programs. Without in-app support, facilitators rely on paper notes and separate tools, creating fragmented records and missed follow-ups. Centralizing workshop facilitation within Meander reduces coordinator overhead, improves participant tracking, and ensures workshop outcomes feed back into the platform's activity and certification records. This drives higher-quality peer mentoring and demonstrates Meander's value beyond simple activity logging to prospective organizations evaluating the platform.
Workshops are modeled as a specialized subtype of courses in the database, differentiated by a type flag (workshop vs. standard course). The Flutter workshop screen reuses course listing and registration components with additional facilitator views — a participant roster, a structured notes editor (reusing the Notes feature components), and a simple checklist widget for session to-do items. Facilitator notes are stored in the notes table with a workshop context reference. The REST API exposes workshop-specific endpoints for roster management. Participant data is sourced from the contacts and user tables, filtered to the facilitator's local association scope. Access control ensures only coordinators and org admins can create or facilitate workshops.
