3 important ways this COURSE is different

This training is about action, not theory. Worksheets, quizzes and exercises are designed to help you absorb new information and pivot faster. Our students have secured new jobs and consulting contracts while enrolled in the course.

The content is based on real-life experiences (successes and failures) of someone who pivoted successfully with zero technical expertise and has watched the market evolve. You will learn what it really takes to break in and how to find companies that want to work with you.

You will be a part of a powerful network. Students have found new business opportunities and collaborated on projects together. We lead with professional generosity and will do whatever we can to help. After all, we are all working to build a sustainable future.
