In order to provide a developmental, learning environment for those students with no previous experience, 'The Sparks Development Program' was founded. As part of the onboarding training, all Sparks members must complete it in their first semester of being part of the firm while they simultaneously complete client work. Comprised of 3 parts, each prepares students in some manner to be able to produce high quality client work.
Applications to become a Sparks member and complete the program will open again sometime in March 2023.
