History
editOnRamp was founded by Caren Ulrich Stacy[1][2][3] in 2014 to give attorneys re-entering the legal profession a paid fellowship with a law firm or legal department. The founding law firms of the OnRamp Fellowship are Sidley Austin, Cooley LLP, Baker Botts, and Hogan Lovells.[4][5][6][7][8]
Program
editAttorneys returning to the workforce after an extended hiatus are matched with a law firm or legal department that meets their needs.[9][5] The program includes a yearly salary for a fellowship that can last up to a year with the possibility of being hired by the company when the fellowship ends.[1][5][2] OnRamp also gives fellows unlimited access to continuing education services online, training from business development experts, and access to a career coach.[10] In order to apply to the program, participants must have at least three years of legal experience and have been on hiatus for at least two years.[8][11]
