Street Smart University – Apprentice Entrepreneur (Tech Wizard)

Are you looking to merge your technical knowledge with marketable initiatives? 

Do you have a burning desire to monetise your understanding of PHP, CSS and HTML5?

If you know that you were meant for something more than just coding, we're looking for you. At the Street Smart Group, our competitive advantage is access to cutting edge information and more importantly blazingly fast execution. If you would like to experience what it's like to take information and quickly monetise it, look no further.

Our apprentices are hired to learn and not to provide 'cheap labour'. You will not be asked to perform menial tasks or run meaningless errands. Your apprenticeship will not be about making coffee or standing at the photocopying machine. We treat you with respect. - At the same time, we recognise that main objective is to learn and gain experience. 

You will be given the unique opportunity to take ownership and ACTUALLY build projects that are key to the operations of the company but you will do it in a safe environment. It will be a new and exciting experience and it's likely you will fail at some tasks(otherwise you're not stretching, you're not growing). 

It is to be expected, you will be forgiven but you MUST learn from those mistakes. Making a mistake once is learning; making it twice is a choice. We will not be teaching you technical skills ('know how') as these ought to be picked up either in school or in your own time. Instead, we will teach you how to apply your skills in the real world and how to assimilate your theoretical knowledge into real life as a professional. 

This way, the concepts from your textbooks and classes will literally come to life. - All interns will be assigned a mentor and will also be given special attention by our senior management personnel, including our founders. This way, you will be exposed to a variety of ideas and perspectives and better equipped to deal with life as a future professional or entrepreneur. 

This is NOT a salaried position. We believe that salaries enslave people to their employers. Instead, you will be trained to generate revenue and profits. You will be given opportunities to MAKE money, not earn a salary. This is where freedom begins.

You must have a good understanding of HTML5, CSS and PHP. You have an over-arching desire to get epic shit done. - You think outside the box and find innovative ways to solve problems instead of just ducking them and referring them to someone in 'authority'. - You are a great team player, have a fun personality, and have interests that others might find unusual. 

You are proud of being unconventional, and you appreciate others for who they are. You do not judge others using conventional yardsticks. And above all you are someone who is regarded as having integrity, and would never do anything to sabotage another person. You are intellectually curious and believe that you can learn something new every day. 

You are interested in entrepreneurship. You believe that entrepreneurship can change the world we live in. You have either attempted a start-up of your own, or have worked in a start-up at some stage in your career - because it's SO much cooler than being a banker or an accountant! By the way, it's totally okay with us if your start-up failed - tell us the reasons why it failed and how the lessons you learnt have made you stronger!
