Modern Labor

Modern Labor is an online 6-month full stack web development bootcamp. Students will learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, front end frameworks like React and Redux, and back end Python. Modern Labor was created to provide comprehensive skills to those who want to enter the tech industry, no matter their how much money they have. To help students overcome any financial barriers, Modern Labor pays each student a $2000 month stipend. The pay is meant to help students concentrate on learning the skills needed to advance their career, rather than worrying about living costs.   Those interested in joining Modern Labor must first contact the staff via email. A staff member will then respond with an application and the steps an applicant needs to follow. Students will be contacted if accepted into the program. The only barrier to Modern Labor is that applicants must be legally able to work in the United States. Once admitted, students are expected to work full-time for 30 hours per week.

Modern Labor works to kickstart the careers of students by having them develop self-initiated projects. These will demonstrate to prospective employers a mastery of the skills needed to be a successful developer. A project manager will assist students by walking them through the various tasks they’ll need to complete. Modern Labor pays its students $2000 a month to learn. After the program graduates pay 15% of their income for two years if they are earning over $40,000. The repayment amount is capped at $30,000.
