Application

How to apply to the Software Development Course.

1. Consider

Do you want a good job in tech? Are you willing to spend up to a year working hard to get one? Think about this carefully. The CYF community is here to support you, but you have to do the hard work. It’s a big challenge, but it is achievable.

2. CV

1. Generate a CV from Linked In Resume Builder or supply your own.
2. Upload your CV to your Google Drive.
3. Send us the link in the application

3. Apply

Apply to join the SDC. The form asks you to show how you have met the graduation criteria, with evidence.

4. Decision

Volunteers will look at every application and use the same Graduation Criteria to decide who will graduate. They will also decide who will be invited to the Software Development Course. You will get the decision by email within two weeks.

• Join the meeting and turn the captions on
• Speak about anything you feel comfortable discussing (your family, hobby, etc.)
• Read the captions on Google Meet to see how it understands you

Think about:

• Are you speaking too fast?

What is the purpose of this assignment?

It is okay to have an accent: all English speakers have accents. Clarity of speech, though, matters a great deal. You are working towards entering a professional workplace in an English speaking country. Speaking English clearly is important. The more clearly you can speak, the better you can put your ideas, thoughts, and opinions across.

Why are we doing this?

​Pick one or more of the following projects, define its requirements by writing the user stories, iteratively develop it in CYF Blocks, and ship it! This is part of the graduation criteria.

• Commenting: Make it possible for a user to add a comment on your website (the comment won’t get saved anywhere, so it will disappear when the page is refreshed - we’ll work on saving later on)
• Shopping Cart Light: Make it possible to add products to a “shopping cart” (again, we won’t be able to check out/pay with what we know so far)
• Image carousel: Allow the user to cycle through a set of images
• Hamburger menu: Display a dropdown menu like https://dev.to/devggaurav/let-s-build-a-responsive-navbar-and-hamburger-menu-using-html-css-and-javascript-4gci
