Apprenticeships

What is a Codence
Apprenticeship Program?

Codence works with its clients to launch careers and better support their use of technology. We engage students, but often non-traditional candidates as well, as apprentices to learn Claris and other technologies, software development, and consulting practices. It’s an inspiring program that provides matchmaking and support for sponsoring clients and individuals.

In a nutshell, we manage a recruiting and training curriculum during what is typically a 12-week program, after which we all intend that the sponsoring client may extend a permanent position to an apprentice should they choose to.

Goals of the Program

Our experience is that this is a win-win for clients and apprentices both. The apprentice gets real-world experience, training from a professional organization, and an introduction to a possible new job.

Our clients have the opportunity to hire someone to help drive technology needs, who can both serve as an internal resource, and who has strong ties and familiarity with Codence. This is a significantly lower-risk way to hire: the best way to get to know someone is to work with them — this gives everyone a chance to try it out. Secondly, our clients gain a capacity with software projects without having to depend solely on us as a third party.

Success

At Codence we’ve managed apprenticeships for the past few years and hired or placed nearly a dozen people in new roles. Some have been hired into jobs at sponsor client organizations, some work for Codence. We appreciate being able to grow the greater Claris community, help our clients succeed, and — most importantly — to start new careers.
