Frequently Asked Questions

Who are Andela Apprentices, what skills do they possess?

They are talented engineers who’ve undergone intensive training in the PERN(PosgreSQL & MongoDB, Express. React, Node) software stack. As well as an immersive, experiential process of learning the soft skills required to thrive as a professional in any distributed engineering team.

How much does it cost to hire Andela Apprentices?

$0. Yes, absolutely nothing! It’s a win win. You get to try awesome engineering talent for free within a 3 month period and you can decide to hire them full time once they've proven to add value to your team. On our end, we get to continue upskilling the Apprentices until we believe they’re totally ready to join the job ecosystem.

How long would they be available to me for free?

For a period of 3 months after they start working with you. Afterwards, you have to either hire them or let them roll off your team gracefully.

Ok, but can I hire them directly if I like their work?

Of course! Once the 3 month period from when they start working with you is up, you can go on ahead to hire them immediately. If you’d like to hire sooner, and prefer not to continue the “3 month trial”, that’s also possible!

What support do I get from Andela when I hire these Apprentices?
What’s the difference between Andela and the Andela Technical Leadership Program?
Love this! Can I send potential employees to Andela to train them before I employ them?

We like how you think! Right now, we don’t train for specific competencies on request, you’d simply have to refer them to apply to the program, and we can arrange for them to Apprentice with your company. However, watch this space for more interesting developments around this!
