I have a lot of questions!
1. What was your background before App Academy? Job/degree, etc...
2. What company did you get a job at (or type of company)?
3. Is it a full time job?
4. Is it a SWE job?
5. Is the job in any field related to your background?
6. How did App Academy help with getting the job?
7. How long post App Academy did it take to get a job?
8. How did you find the new job?
9. What do you want to do next in your career?

I'm saying if you actually try to sign up for an apprenticeship on any of those sites (+ more) the links are either broken or the apprenticeships are no longer offered. You have to actually attempt to sign up for an apprenticeship to see what I'm talking about, not just click on

Some are gone, but some are just the links not working because the links changed or they are seasonal and the site comes up and down. Airbnb, for example, has an active apprenticeship even though the link is broken, because it's active only once a year in the spring.
