I think giving them a small project tight out of the gate might be the best.
While not a tech mentor, I am a tech teacher and my students will rise to my expectations.
So I come from a 3rd world country where many people lack the basics. Covid-19 and remote work opened a lot of opportunities for local tech folks such that $15/hr immediately made you very comfortable here. This was after years of earning about $2k/yr from local employers. A lot of young locals are now rushing into tech with the aim of earning such "mouth watering" pay. However many are not willing to put in the work. They literally want you to plan a learning path for them, teach them, get a job for them and in some cases work that job for them
