PROGRAM SUMMARY

Our apprentice program is based on experience-based learning – i.e. practical learning interspersed with hands on coaching and experience with software professionals.

Apprentices complete 120 days of bootcamps covering all skill areas within the software profession (Test, Coding, Automated testing, Professional skills, Business Analysis, Agile, Devops, and Secops).

We hire apprentices on a 12 month fixed contract from January to December. We then coach and supply that apprentice to one of your software teams to be given commercial experience.
​If you like the apprentice you can hire them permanently at the end of the program, or you can continue to contract them via KCP if you don’t have approved Full Time Employee (FTE) positions.

Apprentices join commercial software project teams during the program to start applying their skills and Apprentices conduct a 6 month full software stack application project (a synthetic project that practices all skills) after they have completed bootcamp. Apprentices are coached and assessed throughout the program.

PROGRAM TRACKS

We offer two separate types of apprenticeships to suite your needs:
  • Developer/Automation Apprenticeship
  • Technical Tester Apprenticeship
We offer these types because they are excellent entry points into the software industry, allowing growth into development, testing, automation and devops.

OUR BOOTCAMPS

The first 90 - 120 days of the apprenticeship program is focused on bootcamps providing core commercial skills and setting expectations of what we require. Most of these bootcamps are conducted in parallel with being onboarded onto a software project team allowing the apprentice to apply what they are learning.
