8+Apprenticeships are practical learning opportunities for new Urbit developers
9+provided by experienced members of the Urbit development community. As an
10+apprentice, you'll have the opportunity to:
11+
12+- Learn from an expert Urbit engineer
13+- Make real contributions to the project, and
14+- Earn address space for learning
15+
16+Becoming an apprentice is easily one of the best ways to level up your skills,
17+and perhaps even land a job.
18+
19+## Get started
20+
21+Apprenticeships are for those that are new to Urbit development (or an area of
22+it), but not new to programming. Nearly all apprenticeships involve some degree
23+of Hoon work, so you should make sure that you've completed [Hoon
24+School](/docs/hoon/hoon-school/intro) and the [Gall
25+Guide](/docs/userspace/gall-guide/intro) prior to signing up.
26+
27+There are two ways to sign up for an apprenticeship:
28+
29+1. [Apply for an open apprenticeship](/grants?program=apprenticeship&open=true&wip=false&completed=false)
30+2. [Sign up to be matched to a mentor](https://airtable.com/shrUZQpHqRtudHhAx)
31+
32+Apprenticeships are sometimes posted on the site to be claimed, but more often
33+than not they emerge out of a conversation between a mentor and an apprentice.
34+This is because mentors are generally busy engineering, and while they know many
35+things that need to be done, getting those ideas into writing is difficult.
36+
37+When you [sign up to be matched](https://airtable.com/shrUZQpHqRtudHhAx), the Urbit Foundation will review your
38+application, pass it around to available mentors, and more often than not a call
39+will get scheduled and an apprenticeship started.
40+
41+## How it works
42+
43+Once a mentor has written up an apprenticeship, approved an apprentice, and all
44+parties have signed a contract with the Urbit Foundation, work can proceed.
45+
46+Mentors and apprentices work together by having weekly pairing sessions and
47+maintaining an open line of communication over Urbit. It's expected that mentors
48+put at least two hours per week into supporting their apprentice.
49+
50+When a mentor has signed off on the apprentice's work, the mentor will notify
51+the Urbit Foundation of completion and the apprentice will invoice the UF for
52+payment.
53+
54+## Funding
55+
56+Apprenticeships pay a flat $8,000 in WSTR to the apprentice, and $2,000 WSTR to
57+the mentor.
