REASONS YOU SHOULD DO IT
- Learn skills you would get in an internship or 1st job. You will onboarded as a new trainee: you will have work responsibilities; you will have a manager; you will be evaluated.
- Get work experience for your resume, and stories for your interviews. You will leave with important work stories you need to talk about: hurdles overcome and lessons learned.
- Pay no tuition or fee. The cost of the bootcamp is your time. You have to commit, as you would to an internship or a job, to working for the duration of the program.
WHAT IS AN “INTERNSHIP BOOTCAMP?”
The Internship Bootcamp is a 3-week, immersive training program to develop your professional skills in a real-world setting. All of this will happen remotely, like most professional work around the world right now.
As part of your training (approx 10 hrs/week) you will be onboarded with a cohort of intern trainees into gesture–our own C21 training startup–where you will have a manager, work responsibilities, and constant feedback and evaluation.
The work you will undertake in this professional environment will be designed specifically to challenge and stretch you, because the most important skills and lessons are learned through challenge. In this program, you’ll be able to learn–and risk–safely. This is what makes it a bootcamp. Are you the kind of person truly ready for challenge, committed to the hard work of embracing ambiguity and learning from failure? If that’s you, join us!
Application deadline is October 10, 2021 before 5:00pm PST–apply now for priority consideration.
