    A pre-internship is part Web Development bootcamp/part technical internship, and functions as an onramp for college juniors to prepare for senior internship roles. Pre-interns are taught a rigorous Web Development curriculum within a 9 to 5 workplace setting, and walk away with a functioning app that applies their knowledge of full stack web tools. Futureforce Tech Launchpad provides pre-interns with the technical skillset and workplace experience to successfully apply and succeed as senior college interns.
