Our approach is what got us to be industry leaders in coding bootcamp job placement. Explore the three stages of our Pathway Program™ for more information.
Before you build a personal brand, our team will help you build a solid foundation through our self-discovery process. Your introduction to a career search begins with the CliftonStrengths assessment to identify your unique strengths. Before diving in further, we'll also teach a few simple practices you can introduce into your daily routine to manage stress and imposter syndrome. The final phase of self-discovery includes working closely with a career coach to develop your elevator pitch—a concise summary about yourself, qualifications and goals.
Develop key credentials for employers, including your resume, a sophisticated LinkedIn profile and portfolio projects. You will kickoff career strategy meetings with your coach to begin discussing career goals after Tech Elevator, like what's important in your next role and what you're most interested in. Our team will also guide you in your first meetings with recruiters, including best practices for an initial meeting.
This final phase is all about putting your best foot forward in the job search. You'll learn what to expect during both behavioral and technical interviews—and apply your learnings in mock interviews. You’ll begin the process of applying for jobs and take part in additional networking opportunities and matchmaking events with direct connections to potential employers.
