This Dot Labs, a development consultancy known for its work in providing opportunities to underrepresented minorities in tech
StackBlitz, a company that is focused on developer education and the creators of an Online IDE for Web Applications powered by Visual Studio Code
With only 50% of boot camp students able to find employment within 3 months of graduation (Dice), both companies feel passionate about trying to help bridge the divide between boot camp and a first job.

The $20,000 investment from StackBlitz and the supply of mentors (senior software engineers) from This Dot will give paid apprenticeship opportunities for boot camp graduates to contribute to prominent open source projects.
Become an apprentice
We have over 20 bootcamp partners including:
It’s tough to go from a bootcamp to an entry level developer role and that challenge is compounded if you are a minority. Our apprentice program makes it easier for folks to transition to a full time job smoothly.
StackBlitz is an online IDE used by millions of developers every month & adopted by open source projects such as Angular (Google), RxJS (Microsoft), and many others.

We have been very happy to work with the StackBlitz team and hosting the Angular documentation code samples on StackBlitz has been great for developers.
StackBlitz has been a great partner at helping provide code samples in our documentation, and I admire Tracy's work with under-represented groups in tech, The pairing for this initiative is great and I expect good things to come out of it.
Want to help underrepresented minorities get those lovely green squares on their Github profile? Want help re-writing you doc examples? Want someone else to pay for both of these? Then sign up to be one our program's open source project partners!
