It takes roughly six months to get you ready for the job market. In that time you'll move through Foundations, Modern Methods and Preflight Check, then start Your Job Search with your mentors behind you. On-the-Job Mentorship continues once you're hired. Foundations comes first for a reason: just as you learn addition and division before calculus, it gives you the basics everything else builds on.
We keep the up-front cost low: you start with a small down payment and pay the rest once you get the job. Join an info session or contact us for current pricing and payment options.
Yes. During Phase 4, Your Job Search, you get one-on-one coaching before and after interviews, LinkedIn and application guidance, and mock interviews. We also work with partners to help connect students with opportunities.
