We're looking for an Associate Director of Client Engagement (hello, all my account and project mgmt leaders!) as well as a Senior UX Researcher. Sparkbox leadership sets aside portions of their week to give short checkpoint status meetings with apprentices, checking in on goals and the overall individual apprentice's experience.I'm growing my team at ZoCo Design, with two key roles that have a huge potential for impact. In these reviews, apprentices are given feedback on areas in which they can improve, areas they have already improved, and new goals are set.Īt the end of each formal review, we mutually have the opportunity to determine if the apprenticeship should continue, not continue, or if Sparkbox would like to extend an offer for full-time employment. In these reviews, apprentices are given the opportunity to practice their presentation skills, speaking for a short time about a subject of their choice related to their recent learning. Roughly once a month, we hold formal reviews with Sparkbox apprentices. Book reviews, thoughts, struggles, lessons learned, and feedback to Sparkbox are all encouraged. If for no other reason than to allow apprentices the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and catalog their progress, we ask our apprentices to journal once a week. Sparkbox apprentices are encouraged to collaborate and pair with their fellow apprentices early and often, and pairing becomes essential as the apprenticeship progresses into group project work. Sometimes, figuring out a problem with another person-even if the don't have any more answers than you-can really benefit new learners.
Our apprentices are expected to pair at least twice a week, at least one hour at a time, with full-time Sparkboxers.
