Generation Tech (Generația Tech) is one of our most impactful learning platforms, up-skilling the new generation in many middle and small urban areas: Bucharest, Pitești, Alba, Oradea, Brașov, Focșani, Piatra Neamț, Iași, Suceava and so on. GT as we kindly call it is in its 4th year, cumulating no less than 1.700 new IT and digital marketing specialists in more than 20 cities.
And we’ve done all this thanks to a relentless team, whose Mentors are one of a kind, passionate professionals. As we are preparing for a new cycle of learning, we have decided to shed light on some of the most active Mentors in our community.
Our 4th interview is with Victor Locoman, Mentor Frontend and JavaScript.
Enjoy and see you in Generation Tech!

Tell us what is your role in Generation Tech.
“I am the Frontend and JavaScript Mentor.”
What does learning (or up-skilling) mean for you?
“It all starts with the emotion that motivates you to build the skill. You add information collected from the professionals in that field. It is possible you may need a specific vocabulary and many recipes for basic exercises. The rest you build through patience and practice. It’s important to be constantly connected to that initial emotion, it will help you to not give up.”
What makes the GT community stand out?
“I see two main strong points. We have a huge national community with tech people. Second, city communities are also strong within the ecosystem. Online or offline, you will definitely find people with similar interests.”
Anything new you’re on to during the next months in GT?
“I’ve been an active mentor for the past 6 years. It’s time to take a break, analyse what was good and what can be upgraded and then act on the conclusions, while coming up with new ideas.”
