What Can I Expect from the Velocity Technology Development Program?

After successfully completing your first co-op or internship, we will work with you to establish a learning and mentorship plan which also outlines your future placements.

How do I apply?

For students, we believe in evaluating you through relationships over resumes, and are focused on learning about who you are and what you’re interested in to uncover your true potential.  In short, we don’t believe resumes will provide us with an accurate depiction of what you’re truly about in order to properly assess your potential.  Instead, we want to get to know you and hear about the experiences that have shaped you.  We know… this might sound crazy but we do not want you to submit your resume.  Instead, we ask that as part of your application, you complete the below:
