Alumni/pro who support a cohort
Yes, SparkNow is a pro-bono initiative designed to build community talent and support non-profit organizations. There is no cost for participants or the non-profits we serve.
While a technical background or interest is helpful, we welcome career-starters and changers. Our tracks are designed to take motivated learners from foundations to mastery.
The program typically runs for 8-12 weeks. Participants should expect to dedicate substantial time each week for labs, sprints, and community sessions.
While we don't guarantee employment, we provide the credentials, hands-on experience, and networking opportunities (like Demo Day) that significantly increase your marketability.
Absolutely. Companies can participate as mentors, hire graduates, or partner with us to support the community. Reach out to learn more about partner opportunities.
We partner with nonprofit organizations that have clear workflow challenges. Projects are selected based on their potential for impact and suitability for our participant sprints.
Join a community of learners and employers committed to building the next generation of IT talent.
