Stride Academy

The future of career education is awaiting you.

“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.

Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills.

Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom”

Jim Rohn

Who are we?

We are industry experts and tech veterans who care greatly about making the world of tech accessible to all who want to enter it, by mentoring the next generation of professionals through our program. we are here to help you start your career in tech.

But the more important question is; why are you here?

You’re here because you want something more for yourself.

You’re looking for change.

If there is one thing the pandemic has proven to all of us, it’s that life is too short to wait to do what we really want to. And that the professional world we live in is a dispensable, fast moving one. But there is one way to make yourself indispensable: craft the mindset and learn the tools to thrive in the world’s most innovative and fastest growing industries.

You want to love and be proud of what you do and who you are and how you show up in the world.

And, you would if you could just stop

Over-analyzing how unqualified you are
Talking yourself out of applying for new roles
Telling yourself it’s too late
Asking yourself if you can really do this
Wondering if the vision you have for your life is realistic

The good news is that it absolutely is and we know because we’ve been there, the bad news is that the tech industry is highly competitive so it might just take some support to get there. And, that’s where we come in.

There are many challenges with traditional higher education.

The biggest is that most programs use ineffective and out-dated teaching methodologies that don’t actually support the long term success of its students.

Tutors are academics, not professionals. And real world experience is a massive game of chicken & egg. You can’t get hired without it, but you can’t get it without getting hired.

Makes you wonder… is all of that student debt really worth it?

Our program and mentors are leading industry experts. They are respected veterans and experienced mentors and coaches in their respective fields and are committed to the growth and development of each and every one of our students.

Not only are Stride Academy graduates armed with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed; they also have access to endless networking opportunities, the Stride Academy community, and Stride mentors who continue to support them as they begin their professional journey.

Formal education is changing.

It has to in order to keep up with the ever-changing demands of our engaged and informed society. And that’s why we’ve developed a program that successfully counteracts the inadequacies in today’s formal education system… because we’ve been there.

Each of our journeys started the same. Swimming in a sea of uncertainty and imposter syndrome. There is just too much conflicting advice in college degrees and online programs and none of it is actually practical information. You will likely find a mirror of your own experience in each of our program’s mentors.

Our curriculum is very intentionally designed with positive, tangible, actionable information so that you have the highest possible chance to integrate the knowledge, take the practical steps to implement the material and land your dream, high-paying job after graduation.

You will graduate Stride Academy…

Excited at a whole new world of possibilities, knowing that career advancement and uncapped earning potential are your new reality.

Being one of the few people in the world who possesses a unique set of skills and knowledge that will forever be beneficial to businesses, no matter what else is going on in the economy.

Confidently applying for roles you had once only dreamed of.

Knowing you can ask for more money, a raise, a promotion and deserve it.

Being the first to speak up in meetings and assuredly offer new approaches or strategies, knowing that your leadership and initiative will have real impact.

What you're really after:

Doing work that makes you, your family and everyone around you proud.

Even if you have no formal education up to now, or you studied something completely different, you could leave Stride Academy applying for high paying positions in tech and be fully prepared to thrive when you land one.
