Overview
| About the apprenticeship: This is a 3-4 month rigorous programme where the first month will be unpaid. You will be expected to come to office every day and read books related to software development, which will be assigned by your mentor. You will be expected to solve all practice problems on your own, with some guidance from your mentor, but no spoon feeding.You will get a small stipend from the second month onwards. You will start learning Ruby on Rails, HTML, Javascript, & CSS, by reading books, tutorials, & API docs. Guidance will be provided by your mentor, but, again, no spoonfeeding.
In the fourth month, you will be expected to deliver a project / module independetly (or the third month, if you learn really quickly). Based on your performance during the apprenticeship, you may be offered a permanent job as a Software Developer at a competitive salary. Warning: The software apprenticeship is not for the faint hearted. If you don\’t like programming you won\’t last in this program (pun intended). Expect to put in long hours and push yourself up an extremely steep learning curve. The payoff will be your newly acquired ability to break down problems into smaller units, to assemble them into well-structured programs – a skill that will last you throughout your software development career, irrespective of the latest hotness in technology. About you: Freshly out of college or less then 1 year of relevant web-development experience. Passionate about software development. Attitude to get things done. Willingness to learn the hard way of doing things right. |
