Home / How it works

Everything, before you start.

What the program is, what a week asks of you, how you apply and how we decide. Read it all before you spend ten minutes on the form.

The program in short

Five facts.

  • Length[WEEKS] weeks, [DATES]
  • Time[HOURS] hours a week
  • WhereRemote. A laptop and a steady connection.
  • Cohort[SEATS] per track
  • WorkReal briefs from [PARTNER TYPES]

What a week looks like

Mostly work. Some talking about the work.

  • Most of your hours

    Project work

    You work on a real brief from a partner, on your own time, to a real deadline.

  • Weekly

    Mentor check-in

    A short call with your mentor. What you did, what got in the way, what’s next.

  • Weekly

    Reflection

    A few paragraphs on what you learned about how you work. Honest beats polished.

  • Every two weeks

    Peer feedback

    You read another student’s work and mark it up. They do the same for yours.

How we decide

Clear rules. People decide.

  • You’re assessed on your assignment, your interview and your commitment, against a short rubric.
  • Your demographic answers are never used to decide.
  • People set the rules and make the close calls.

Note · Wording pending a decision on human review.

What it is

An assessment, not a job.

Students Inc is a real environment for real-world assessment. You take on real briefs, and your work is judged the way the real world would judge it: on what it does, not on how hard you tried.

What you come out with is a clear picture of your abilities, your strengths and your weaknesses, from people who say what they actually think. Nobody here will promise you a job. It isn’t one, so there’s no pay.

Read it all? Then apply.
