Common Questions

Employer FAQs

No training fees — ever. Employer partners pay wages during the apprenticeship period. Ignite covers all training, coaching, and Navigator support costs.
10x10 graduates are prepared for customer-facing roles: Banker/Teller, Customer Service Rep, Claims Processor, Sales Development Rep, and Administrative Support. Ignite Tech graduates are prepared for IT Help Desk and Data Visualization/Reporting Analyst roles. We can also tailor cohorts to your specific needs.
No — Ignite prepares candidates and introduces them to your team. We coordinate the introduction and support the hiring process, but final hiring decisions rest entirely with your organization. We're a talent partner, not a staffing agency.
We go beyond sourcing. Our candidates arrive pre-trained in professional and soft skills, supported by a dedicated Navigator through onboarding, and backed by a team that stays engaged post-hire. We're invested in your retention outcomes — because that's our proof of impact.
