Definitions
Qualifying Position: Any position that is full-time and has a total first year compensation of USD $50,000 or more. Positions that award a significant amount of equity or options in a company (1% or more) also count as Qualifying Positions.
Eligible Period: The 36-month time frame after a student graduates from App Academy.
Qualifications
To qualify for Placement Protection, a graduate must be able to pass any background checks associated with jobs that they apply for and must conduct a “Good Faith Job Search” that includes adhering to job search requirements for 12 to 18 months after graduation, and pursuing continued efforts over the full Eligible Period if a job has not yet been found.
The key elements of a "Good Faith Job Search" include:
- Applying to the minimum number of jobs set out by the App Academy Career Coach
- Maintaining a log of application activities
- Completing all job search-related assignments and tasks
- Responding to App Academy communications in a timely manner
- Attending meetings with Career Coaches and other App Academy job search team members
- Providing documentation if requested to verify a "Good Faith Job Search"
Failure to complete the required elements of a “Good Faith Job Search” can result in Job Search Strikes being given. If a student receives too many Job Search Strikes, App Academy reserves the right to revoke the student’s Placement Protection.
