What should I do to get ready before the application launch?
Great question! We encourage you to update your resume as a starter! If you have a LinkedIn profile or even a webpage or Github with your work samples (a portfolio), update those as well.
We’ll be hosting a series of information sessions, office hours (resume building and application support), and skills workshops leading up to the application deadline.

All application materials can be found in the Apply Now Tab↗
Pre-Screen
You’ll select the Academy application, upload your resume, and fill out a few background questions. Then, you’ll take a self assessment of your skills for the specific Academy.
The deadline to submit the pre-screen application is April 8th, 2022 by 11:59 PM PT/ 2:59 AM ET. However, we encourage you to submit the pre-screen application as soon as possible, even before the deadline.
Stage 1: Video Questions
If selected, you’ll receive an email with instructions to record responses to some video prompts via our application website.
The hiring committee will review your video application and determine if you will move forward into Stage 2 of the process.
Stage 2: Project-based Assessment
If selected, you’ll get the opportunity to showcase your current skills. We want to understand where you’re at in your learning journey.
You’ll have a few days to complete an assessment and submit. The hiring committee, which includes former instructors from each of the Snap Academies, will review your assessment submission and determine if you move forward to the final stage.
Final stage: Interview
If selected, you’ll schedule a 30 minute interview slot. You’ll interview with a current Snap employee, who’s interested in learning more about you!
The hiring committee will make final decisions by May 13, 2022 - one month before the start of the Snap Academies 2022.
What can I expect after I apply, interview, and get selected?
Scholars who are accepted into a Snap Academy will be notified via email and phone by no later than May 16th. Here’s what you can expect leading up to the start:
