FastTrack Full-Stack Developer Program

Job description

Launch Your Software Development Career with FastTrack

Our September cohort begins soon!

Cook Systems is seeking motivated developers for FastTrack, our free, selective 8-week online program designed to build full-stack development capabilities and prepare qualified participants to launch or advance their software development careers through opportunities with Cook Systems clients.

FastTrack is built for developers who already have a technical foundation and are ready to take the next step. This is not an introductory coding program. Participants are expected to enter with programming experience and the ability to build software.

Why FastTrack?

Building a career in software development can be difficult, even when you already have the skills to build software-especially in a market where developers are increasingly expected to work across technologies and use AI effectively.

FastTrack helps close the gap between having a development foundation and being ready to contribute across the stack on a professional technology team.

FastTrack operates on a high-trust model. There is no tuition, no income-share agreement, and no repayment agreement. In return, we ask participants to take the opportunity seriously: communicate, do the work, collaborate, respond to feedback, remain committed throughout the program, and give Cook Systems a fair opportunity after graduation to help connect you with client opportunities.

Learn more at allaboutfasttrack.com.

What You'll Develop

FastTrack is an intensive learning and development program that builds from backend development to frontend development and full-stack application development.

Technical areas include:

  • Java and object-oriented programming
  • Spring and Spring Boot
  • REST APIs and web services
  • SQL and relational databases
  • JavaScript and TypeScript
  • Angular
  • Git and collaborative development workflows
  • Testing, debugging, and code quality
  • Full-stack application development
  • Agile development practices

You'll apply those skills through hands-on development, collaborative projects, and technical assessments.

The program also includes career-readiness content designed to help participants better understand the expectations of professional software teams. Topics may include communication, collaboration, interviewing, and working effectively with clients and teammates.

FastTrack also prepares you for a development environment where generative AI is part of the developer toolkit. You'll learn to use AI to support development work while building the judgment to evaluate its output and use it effectively and responsibly.

Who Should Apply?

FastTrack is selective and designed for aspiring and early-career developers who already have a technical foundation but still have room to develop their capabilities across the full stack.

You may be a strong fit if you:

  • Have hands-on programming experience
  • Have built software applications or development projects
  • Have experience with Java or another object-oriented programming language
  • Have a foundation in frontend, backend, or web development and want to build greater capability across the full stack
  • Are comfortable learning independently and working through technical challenges
  • Are comfortable being assessed on your technical skills
  • Work well with others and are receptive to feedback
  • Are serious about pursuing professional software development opportunities

Your experience may come from professional work, an internship, college coursework, a boot camp, technical training, or substantial independent projects. What matters is that you already have a foundation in software development and are ready to build on it.

You do not need to already be a full-stack developer-that is the gap FastTrack is designed to help you close. FastTrack is not designed for candidates with no prior software development experience or for experienced developers who have already established themselves as full-stack software engineers.

What to Expect

Admission to FastTrack is selective, and applicants should expect a screening process that evaluates whether they have the technical foundation needed to succeed in the program. FastTrack is an unpaid learning and development program, not an employment position. Once admitted, participants should expect to devote approximately 25-30 hours per week for 8 weeks to structured learning, assignments, assessments, projects, collaboration, and career preparation.

Successful completion of FastTrack does not guarantee employment or placement. Qualified graduates may be considered for opportunities with Cook Systems clients based on available opportunities, client requirements, and individual fit.

If you have already invested in becoming a developer and are ready to strengthen your skills and pursue the next step in your career, we encourage you to apply. Learn more at allaboutfasttrack.com.
