Getting to know TAP
  • No upfront costs
  • Less risk for you as it only kicks in upon success (you getting hired!)
  • High incentive for us to ensure you received world-class training & support to land a job fast
  • Align the amount you pay with the salary you get paid
We’ve partnered with various companies that have hired our TAPers, based anywhere from the US to Europe and the GCC and operating in various industries. 
Feel free to take a look at this page for more concrete examples.
We work with many top-class trainers and coaches that help us design and deliver our curriculums. We also partner with leading international companies to continuously improve our programs.
Our programs have zero upfront costs, but they’re not free. Our Shared Success Agreement (SSA) allows you to pay for the program once you’ve landed a job, making TAP a stress-free investment into your future. Our standard repayment is structured as 17% of your salary over 18 months.
Joining the program
To thrive in TAP's programs, you must be fluent in English (ideally C1), able to commit to a full-time schedule (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Sunday through Thursday), have a genuine passion for the program's focus area, and have the resilience to persevere through tough challenges – all elements that will be key to your success in this exciting journey.
Spots in a TAP cohort are limited, so if you decide to drop out of the program, there could be penalties depending on the timing and nature of your dropping out. Please refer to our Shared Success Agreement (SSA) for more details. The SSA outlines the program's financial terms, including those related to training costs in the event of drop out.
If your application isn't successful this time around, you're welcome to reapply after 90 days from the rejection date. In the meantime, the TAP team is here to support you! We encourage you to review the feedback provided in your application status. This can help you identify areas for improvement and strengthen your future application.
Landing a job
Landing a job is not guaranteed; it never will be. However, 90% of our graduates have landed a job. Our survival and success as a company are directly linked with the success of our graduates in landing a job, so you can be sure we are fully committed to helping you get placed.
Congrats! TAP succeeds when you succeed and are completely free to choose the opportunity you prefer.
Our program is designed to get you job-ready and empower you to become a strong job-seeker. We’ll help you acquire the skills needed to position yourself strongly, to find and apply for jobs successfully, and to become a strong interviewee.We also have a dedicated team that continuously expands our network of hiring companies. This enables us to offer our TAPers job opportunities regularly.
Congrats, we’ll be delighted for you! You’ll have two options: negotiate your start date to allow you to complete the TAP program (to ensure you can reap all its benefits) or ask to graduate prematurely (assessed on a case-by-case basis).
Your salary after TAP will depend on several factors, including your prior experience, the company and job you choose to take, how well you interview, and your negotiation skills. As a rough range, we have seen our TAPers land jobs with salaries around $1200-1800.
UNDERSTANDING THE SHARED SUCCESS AGREEMENT (SSA)
The Shared Success Agreement is a mandatory step of the admission process. As its name suggests, we have written it to bind TAP’s success to the success of our TAPers. The SSA is necessary to enable us to continue supporting more TAPers and boosting their career prospects.
Yes. While our SSA is by default designed to facilitate monthly payments over 18 months, we can accommodate you if you’d rather pay in fewer installments or even all at once upfront.
The SSA and the monthly payments are necessary for TAP’s survival and success as a social impact company. While repayment is mandatory, we can always find flexibility in structuring that and supporting you in a way that works.
If your international company chooses TAP as a local entity to employ you, we will subtract your monthly fees directly from your paycheck. If you are contracted directly to your employer, we expect you to make the corresponding payments.
According to our SSA terms, you are only expected to start paying us back once you land a job and earn your first salary.
The Shared Success Agreement is a mandatory step of the admission process. As its name suggests, we have written it to bind TAP’s success to the success of our TAPers. The SSA is necessary to enable us to continue supporting more TAPers and boosting their career prospects.
According to the SSA terms, payments are paused in the case of employment termination and will only restart once you have landed your next job and started earning a salary again.
The SSA terms only come into play when your salary is at least $900. And there is a lower, nominal fee for salaries between $600 and $899. Though we have confidently placed our TAPers in jobs well above these figures.
According to our SSA terms, repayment is voided if no job is landed within 12 months. We would consider that we have failed to make an impact on the candidate.
The TAP program is designed to give you the knowledge and practice to boost your job-hunting skills. While we will also help you in your job search by connecting you to our hiring partners, the biggest value you will get is becoming job-ready and a stronger and independent job-seeker.
