Continuous Development Training – Launch Your Tech Career with Real-World Projects – 3 – 24 months

Description

Why Commercial Experience Matters:

A large percentage of learners struggle to land tech roles because companies require a certain level of experience, beyond practice projects. Companies need you to have commercial experience, which means working on products that are either currently live and in use by users, or that will eventually be used by users.

This experience demonstrates your ability to:

• Meet company requirements and deadlines
• Navigate team dynamics
• Utilize project tracking tools (Jira, etc.)
• Collaborate with project managers, product owners, and team members
• Address user requests

No one can blame companies for requiring this level of experience. For many companies, especially those without large budgets for training new hires, it’s simply impractical to invest heavily in onboarding someone who lacks commercial experience.

Gain the Edge You Need:

Traditional learning methods like textbooks and practice projects can only take you so far. Zuri Team’s Continuous Development Training (CDT) bridges the gap by providing you with the experience employers crave.

Here’s what sets our program apart:

• Learn by Doing: Gain hands-on experience through practical projects, not just theory.
• Expert Mentorship: Get your code, design, and documentation reviewed by experienced senior engineers, just like in a real job.
• Simulate a Remote Work Environment: Collaborate in small and large teams, work with project managers, and experience the dynamics of a remote tech company – all within our Slack workspace.
• Build Your Credibility: Showcase your project experience on your CV, giving you a competitive edge.
• Flexible Payment: Pay monthly for access to the program, with a minimum commitment of 3 months.

During your enrollment, you’ll also benefit from:

• Dedicated Mentorship: Receive personalized guidance and feedback from senior engineers.
• Official Zuri Team Email: Build your professional brand with a custom email address.
• Company Slack Workspace: Network and collaborate with fellow students and mentors.

Work on Real Projects, Get Real Results:

The CDT program treats you as an actual Zuri Team employee. You’ll be onboarded with training on essential tools like Jira, GitHub, and Slack. Then, you’ll dive into working on real projects that are either currently live or destined for future release.

Gain invaluable experience in:

• Team dynamics and collaboration
• Meeting deadlines and company requirements
• Utilizing industry-standard project management tools
• Working with stakeholders like project managers, product owners, and team members

What about compensation if a product goes live and makes money?

At Zuri Team, we recognise the value you bring as a trainee in our Continuous Development Training (CDT) program. Here’s how we handle compensation:

• Preferred Shares for Long-Term Growth: When you contribute to a product that goes live and generates revenue, you’ll be eligible to receive preferred shares. These shares have the potential to grow in value alongside the success of the product, offering you a stake in the company’s future success.
• Transparent Contribution Recognition: For each project, product, or task you undertake, you’ll receive a clear document outlining the compensation package associated with your work. This ensures transparency and acknowledges the specific value you bring to each contribution.

This approach offers a two-fold benefit:

1. Shared Success: You have the opportunity to share in the financial rewards of the product you helped build, motivating you and fostering a sense of ownership.
2. Clear Expectations: Knowing the compensation structure upfront allows you to understand the potential value of your contributions to each project.

By participating in the CDT program, you gain valuable practical experience while potentially reaping the rewards of your contributions. It’s a win-win situation!
