Tech Apprenticeships Lead to Tech Jobs

Here’s how it works

Submit Your Application

Tell us your story and show us your tech skills through a brief online application (20-30 min) and coding puzzles (30-60 min). Read this guide that we have created to help you complete an awesome application.

LaunchCode Tech Interview

Tell us more about your learning journey, and show us a project that displays your tech skills. If you're ready, we'll start matching you with employers hiring for tech, or give you tailored feedback about how to improve your coding.

Get Connected to Tech Employers

While you keep growing your programming skills, our placement team will start connecting you to interview for tech apprenticeships with the employers that are a fit for your skills and interests. Sometimes, employers even offer our candidates a full-time tech job on the spot.

Tech Apprentice Success Stories

Padmini

Padmini received a degree in technology in her native country India, but as a new mother she didn’t have a chance to practice her skills, so finding a technology job in the US proved challenging. Through LaunchCode’s CoderGirl meetup, she sharpened her skills, and landed an apprenticeship at MasterCard where she is now a full time software developer.
