Announcing the MLH Fellowship, powered by GitHub

GitHub Education, in collaboration with Major League Hacking (MLH), has launched the MLH Fellowship, a remote program designed to adapt to the evolving work culture and support the next generation of developers. This 12-week initiative connects small groups of students with open source projects and mentors, offering them a stipend through GitHub Sponsors and engaging them in real-world workflows and collaboration. The program aims to democratize access to internships by accommodating students globally, thus providing an alternative to traditional internships that are often geographically restrictive and highly competitive. With support from partners like Facebook, DEV, and the Royal Bank of Canada, the MLH Fellowship aspires to cultivate a workforce trained in meaningful software development, addressing the increasing demand for skilled graduates and shaping the future of work.
