About the Opportunity
Flatiron School is offering an apprenticeship opportunity for early-career developers to earn income while learning. Apprentices will enroll in Flatiron’s Data Science & AI part-time bootcamp and be matched with one of our employer partners for a paid apprenticeship throughout the duration of the program.
This is a unique opportunity to develop skills in AI and data science while gaining hands-on industry experience. As an apprentice, you’ll contribute to software products, collaborate with experienced engineers, and build your portfolio with production-ready work. At the same time, you’ll deepen your understanding of data and machine learning to become a more versatile, full-stack software developer.
This is a full-time opportunity, 40 hours/week (20 hours coursework and 20 hours apprentice work) for a 14-month program. The apprenticeship earnings will cover the tuition cost of the bootcamp.
