History

OnRamp 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

Attorneys 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]
