There’s a Gap. It Sucks,
Many recent graduates from college, university, bootcamps, and more are finding it really difficult to get a job, especially in the Bay Area. That’s because there’s a gap between graduate skills and entry-level job requirements.

There’s hope!
We’re bridging the gap between recent graduates and entry-level software engineering jobs in the Bay Area (and beyond!).

Get to Silicon Valley Standards
We know how to train you to Silicon Valley standards. They are undoubtedly the highest standards in the world for software engineer jobs. We know the technical skills, soft skills, and interview skills that employers want as well as how to structure your resume. No other training program has re-designed their learning system to actually develop the workplace skills employers want.

The Junior Software Engineer Fellows Program
In light of the gap between graduates and the workplace, we’ve built the Junior Software Engineer Fellows program, a training program designed to raise the skills, technical competencies, portfolio, work experience, and interview skills of people with a coding background or programming experience.

Major Program Elements

1. Software Projects
A large part of your training and experience will be completing software projects. Some are ones that we have created and others will be real-world software projects. Projects become increasingly more complex and difficult.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner padding_setting=”1″ desktop_padding=”padding-four-lr” ipad_padding=”sm-padding-three-lr” mobile_padding=”xs-padding-two-lr” width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]
2. Experience
Part of our program is being able to show that you have software experience in two forms: a line item on your resume and a strong technical portfolio. Through our program, you build a strong portfolio in the area in which you want a job and you put Junior Software Engineer Fellow on your resume.

3. Job Process Preparation
Included in the program is our technical interview preparation with resume and LinkedIn profile review. You’ll complete up to 40 technical interviews and 40 exercises as you prepare for job applications. We also encourage you to build your network through local events, hackathons, and meetups.

Technical Interview Preparation
You’ll practice technical interviews as both an interviewee and an interviewer to understand what employers are looking for and how to best succeed at these interviews. You’ll gain confidence, learn the interview structure, and practice so that you can succeed in the real world.

What Your Day-to-day Looks Like
Just like a job as a software engineer or developer, you will be working on software projects, sometimes individually but mostly in groups, completing peer code reviews and having your code reviewed, and generally coding all day long. There are no classes with teachers, and instead, you’re engaged in the work you’re doing, learning as you go and being resourceful within the Qwasar community.
