Program Structure

Each week we push forward toward your personal goals and be held accountable for your tasks by your team members.

Mentor-led study halls, and intensive knowledge deep dive sessions will be held weekly throughout the program. These sessions are intended to target knowledge and skill gaps, and provide momentum to overcome obstacles.

Technical mentors will be guiding students along every step of the way; not lecturing, but enabling you to learn by doing.

  • Weekly round table session to set and report goals and get guidance
  • Weekly collaborative work session (mixed virtual and in-person)
  • Weekly record keeping (in tutorial format) to demonstrate and document
  • Mentors available to guide you and advise you on next steps
  • Classes and Workshops included at no additional cost
Entrance Criteria

No experience necessary. As your skills grow you’ll be able to undertake more complex projects.

Attendance

Students can participate virtually or in person, or both. We recommend 20 hours per week commitment for this program to be effective, however you will get out of it what you put into it. There are two sessions a week, and they can be attended asynchronously if necessary.
