Picking the language and then the specifics of what you want to improve knowledge of is next. specific e.g in Python use OOP to build a x using (flask or bottle and JavaScript flavor of the month here). Phase things as well, don't try build a monolith in 4 weeks using 50 different stacks. They'll lose the plot and end up trying 3 different JavaScript frameworks and 6 different ways of nearly anything. measure what it means to have achieved the goal, example a flask backend using a user and customer model connected to a postgres db by Date. Have courses, books and websites available for learning. Checkin on progress and help them bring it back into order when they go off the path. Then using the goal, the date and the measure of success, evaluate the knowledge gained with them
