Apply to Launch
Applications for the 2024 program are now closed. Application dates for the 2025 program will be updated in August.
Launch Application Process
1) Apply online.
Our 3-step application process starts with a straightforward initial application - all you need is your resume.
2) Complete a skills challenge.
Our team will review your application and if you move forward in the process, you will be invited to complete a Skills Challenge.
A Skills Challenge is a hands-on project you will complete on your own in a one week timeframe. During the Skills Challenge, you will use resources we provide as well as your own research to complete a project related to the skill you selected.
The Skills Challenge is our way of evaluating how you tackle problems, if you can self-teach a little bit, and if you can communicate clearly and professionally. No prior experience is required, although it may be nice to have.

4) Receive acceptance into the Launch program.
If you're accepted into the program, you will attend an accepted students orientation where we will provide more information about next steps. In orientation you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the details of the program, ask questions, start to get to know other accepted students, and meet some of the program instructors.
If you decide to accept your offer to join the program, you will sign your student contract and submit a $300 deposit. Deposits are partially refundable, if you decide to leave the program before you are matched with an internship.
If you have questions before you apply, many commonly asked questions are answered on our FAQ page. If you don't see your question answered there, we encourage you to attend an upcoming info session or email our team at launch@joinforge.co.
