More About Gateway

Gateway is an 8-week extended interview process in which we present some content you will be expected to learn. This opportunity allows applicants to show us how they would do in our learning environment. Gateway is an asynchronous experience in which candidates receive virtual instruction to develop and assess professional development and technical skills. Candidates must complete all aspects of Gateway to be considered for a position as an Apprentice.

There is a required in-person workshop in January where applicants will get live instruction.

The final week of Gateway will consist of a final interview where applicants will showcase what they've learned so far.

More information about Gateway will be shared as candidates reach that stage. 

Program Schedule:

• The Apprenticeship takes place Monday - Friday from 9 am - 5 pm
• The program will have a hybrid schedule that requires participation 3 days per week in-person at the Road to Hire office
• Apprentices are responsible for securing reliable transportation to attend required in-person days
