Nothing in life is free so you should dig into how it works.
For example:
- are they a non profit and if somewhere does there money come from?
- are there any conditions? for example, do they set you up with hiring partners and do you have to accept their contracts first (which could be lower paid than your market rate)
- if they are non profit, check their track record, financial efficiency and ideally who their donors are
- do they make money from placement fees?
- are there geographic or demographic restrictions?
- if it's a small thing, are the leaders likely to stick around long term and offer this for free?
I have no comments at all on YearUp, just general advice if something is free to look into.
