Apprenticeship Training Application

This form is for people wishing to apply to join the Heaven's Blessings Tiny Zoo game development tutoring program as a Programmer, Artist, Writer, Musician, or Researcher.  This is a training program, not a paid position, all positions are volunteer only.  This training program is designed to provide the self-study student with tutoring from experienced Indie developers and meaningful real world experience on a game development team to practice the concepts as they are learned, and for the more experienced students to help the less experienced so that all gain in knowledge together.

TRAINING APPLICATIONS ARE NOT BEING PROCESSED AT THIS TIME.  We will accept Training Applications to consider apprenticeships for the future, but we do not have the resources to accept any more apprentices to the program at this time.  If you are a SKILLED developer please use the Volunteer Application form to apply for a position on our team.  Thank you for your interest in our Apprenticeship program!
