Phase 2 is a 3-6 month apprenticeship developing a real-world project with the supervision of an experienced developer. In this phase Role Model pays the student a stipend.
After 3 months in the Apprenticeship Phase, Role Model evaluates the student to see if he or she is ready to move on to Phase 3, Residency. In the evaluation, Role Model is looking to see if the student has developed the target skill level. If Role Model determines that the student is not ready to move forward, they will either extend the apprenticeship or dismiss the student from the program. The students they determine are ready, move on to Residency and work on the RoleModel team on specific projects under supervision.
After three months of Residency, participants are evaluated to determine if Role Model will offer them a full-time position as a Jr Developer.
