当学生的技术技能达到行业标准时，他们将获得推荐到包括大型科技公司和初创公司在内的外部公司。我们还为优秀学生提供内部就业机会。
When the student’s technical skills reach industrial standard, they will receive referrals to external companies including big tech and startups. We also provide internal employment opportunities for outstanding students.
How We Use Our Donations
One of our obligations is to responsibly and transparently use donations under proper oversight.
Organization infrastructure
We provide industrial standard infrastructure for students and volunteers. This includes cloud and on premise servers, infrastructure lisencing and maintenance costs from contractors.
Fund our interns
As part of our Residency Program, we hire interns (full-time or part-time) to work on projects that are related to our cause. Donation is used to pay for their salaries/benefit and cause related projects.
Operations
Money spent on operations, such as office rent and payroll and other admistative actions, is kept at sustainable and minimal level. Currently, offices and intern dorms are donated by board members. People operations are done by volunteers.
Prohibited spendings
Any form of compensation, whether fair or unfair, is not allowed to be provided to any board member. Travel expenses and other similar indirect benefits are also prohibited.
