Application Timeline
Accepted applicants will be notified in April, and program onboarding will begin in late spring/early summer. The number of applicants accepted each year will vary according to the number of available positions identified within our job market. Our goal is to ensure work for everyone accepted into our program.
If we are unable to accept all qualified applicants, we will set up a wait list. For the next six months we will reach out to applicants on our wait list as new openings become available.
