Foreword
     Every year, many New Scratchers enter the Scratch community, without any skill pertaining to programming.  They look for help, and help is given.  Once they have honed their skills, the New Scratchers look for ways to give back.  They try entering one of the Scratch companies that helps New Scratchers, but they are denied, as the company is full.  That is are the reasons this company was founded: to help New Scratchers, and to help others give back to the Scratch community.

Sure.  what part would you like to apply for?

Awesome.  You got the position.

I'll tell you when you get some more staff.  In the meantime, could you get the word out there about this? (I already have it as my sig and on my wiki page, but I don't know if that's enough)

*bump*

CanI be DH, TBGs and RPGs?

how many of these companies do we need?

What does the enrollment officer/manager do? I could apply. I do not have a years experience, but have scratcher status, and has been coached about programming in scratch for a month.

I am new to Scratch, so what can you help me with?

*bump*

bump

would enrollment officer be responsible for posting topics on the forum about enrollment.

2. Why not add differant groups to your forum (Administrators, Enrollment, etc)
