Apprenticeship Community

A community of people dedicated to cultivating business cultures of professional growth.

Our Mission

We help companies support employees learning and growth. This means:

• Developing internal communities of practice around continual learning
• Providing new hires with contextual training
• Evaluating candidates based on their potential instead of their credentials

We'll know we've accomplished this when no company has a hiring shortage and everyone who wants to work is working.

$ bundle install
# Start hosting the site locally.
$ bin/foreman start

Next, you should be able to go to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.

If you get stuck, ask for help in the CodeNewbie forum, or ask for help in our community.
