| 10 | +- question: What if a student has to miss part of the program? |
| 11 | + answer: We know students have a lot on their plates! Therefore, we have designed the program to be self-paced and able to be completed on a rolling basis. Students should understand internship opportunities are available starting in October 2022, meaning the sooner they satisfy the initial requirements, the sooner they can be added to the private LinkedIn group and apply for the internships. Companies begin placing their interns very early; thus, we highly recommend students get started and complete the requirements to begin applying for internships as soon as possible. |

19 | 19 | - question: Are students guaranteed an internship? |
20 | | - answer: We cannot guarantee internships. Our corporate partners make internship opportunities available specifically for All In students, but students must still apply and interview. Students will be competing against other All In students for the positions. We also understand that not all students want to work for large corporations. There will be opportunities for students to participate in paid internships with startups, nonprofits and within open source communities. We also partner with other tech organizations to offer students scholarships to participate in bootcamps and fellowships. |
