Sparkbit Fellowship Program Timeline

3 months

Warmup project

You'll be assigned to a mentor and build a full-stack application as a sandbox project under the mentor's supervision. The goal here is to acquire basic technology skills and learn best practices in a fail-safe environment.

1–3 months

Starter tasks

You'll be assigned to a project and complete a series of introductory tasks. You'll grasp the project and gain more exposure working with a mentor and project PM.

2–4 months

Mini-projects

You'll build two fairly comprehensive features requested by the client. The guidance here will be minimal, so you get more freedom and a higher sense of responsibility.

finish

Graduation

You’re ready to be independent, so we promote you to a regular developer - a position that comes with a raise, and more paths to gather professional experience.

opinions

Our alumni say

I am very impressed with the Fellowship program I participated in. It was an excellent opportunity to dive into new technologies and gain hands-on experience. The to-do list application was a challenging but rewarding project, and I feel confident in my ability to use React, Kotlin, and Spring Boot moving forward. I also enjoyed setting up the CI/CD pipelines with GitLab and feel this will be a valuable skill to have in the future. One of the things that I appreciated the most about this program was the level of support I received from the team. Everyone was very helpful and willing to answer any questions I had. This made the learning process much smoother and allowed me to complete the program promptly.

Sparkbit Fellowship taught me the workflows and helped me ease into the company. I learned skills and good habits that are never taught at university and are usually underemphasized in online courses and bootcamps. You learn all this by building, which to me is one of the greatest joys of programming :)

Finishing Sparkbit Fellowship allowed me to quickly and seamlessly prepare to work in a commercial project environment. I built a strong relationship with my mentor, and the time he spent showing me how to be a well-performing developer was the program's most significant benefit.
