In the apprenticeship, students will learn Git, Github, SASS, Python, SQL, HTML, HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. Enrollment is open every year, but vacancies are limited and the application process is stringent. A background in fundamental web and mobile development is expected of prospective applicants, especially Ruby on Rails, JavaScript and HTML. During the 3-month apprenticeship, students will work alongside designers and developers at thoughtbot on projects, and will be assigned a Mentor who will be the student’s primary instructor. Students will also work on special projects designed to give apprentices additional time and training in the areas they most need.
Each month, apprentices will move to another mentor and different team. This rotation system is geared to enhance the learning process by exposing students to new projects and new people, but will also allow students to reapply what they’ve learned in a new context. In the final month, if things have gone well, apprentices will be promoted to a full designer or developer at thoughtbot. Alternatively, thoughtbot will connect successful apprentices with other potential employers.
