Twilio Hatch was a six-month paid software engineering apprenticeship for people from non-traditional backgrounds. It is listed here because people still search for it: the program page is gone and redirects to Twilio's nonprofit arm. If you see a Hatch posting on a job board, check the date before applying.

Outcomes
This program does not publish job-placement or salary outcomes. Treat any number you hear from admissions as unverifiable.
Interview-prep depth
The syllabus is not public in enough detail to score. Program goal was full-time placement at Twilio; no conversion figures were ever published on the page.
Whatever the program covers, the interview itself is free to prepare for here: coding patterns, system design, practice prompts, company guides.
What a careful reader should know
No official shutdown notice was found. Evidence of closure is indirect: the archived page (Dec 2024) still stated a goal of 'offer 100 Hatch apprenticeships' by 2023, a 2021 r/twilio thread asked when the program would reopen, a September 2022 LinkedIn post titled 'sad hatch apprenticeship' appeared in search results, and the URL has redirected to twilio.org since January 2025. Treat any current 'Hatch' listing on job boards as stale.
