Offering tracks in Data Science, Web Development, and Cybersecurity, the fellowship blends structured training with practical experience, preparing fellows for entry-level roles in these industries. Participants benefit from a monthly education stipend, career support, and industry-recognized certifications to enhance their technical and professional growth. The program features a hybrid learning model that includes weekly in-class instruction, self-paced study, and collaborative, project-based learning. Each track targets specific skills: Data Science with Python (offered in New York City, Newark, Atlanta, and Los Angeles) trains fellows in Python programming, data analysis, and database management; Web Development (offered in the same locations) focuses on tools like ReactJS and API creation to prepare participants for roles in front-end, back-end, or full-stack development; and Cybersecurity (available in New York City, Newark, Atlanta, and the Baltimore-Washington area) develops expertise in IT, networking, and application security. In addition to technical training, the fellowship emphasizes career readiness. Fellows engage with corporate volunteers for resume reviews, mock interviews, and hackathon events, gaining valuable insights into the tech industry. During the program's final three months, the Student Success team provides guidance on securing certifications, internships, or full-time roles.

Eligibility for the fellowship includes residency in one of the specified geographic areas, being 18 years or older by the program start, earning below $60,000 annually (or $55,000 in Atlanta and the DMV area), and possessing a high school diploma or equivalent.
