Graduate Outcomes
We are committed to you succeeding in your new career.
Our Graduate Success and Outcomes is a team made up of recruiters! Unlike other academic institutions they have all actually written job descriptions, built hiring processes, screened and interviewed candidates (YOU) and as a result they turn that experience and knowledge on reverse for you.

Own Your Learning
Students who work the hardest and stay positive can often surpass their more experienced peers.
Try not to take struggling personally, don't "should" on yourself.
Try not to compare yourself to others.
Do what keeps you mentally engaged.
Stay organized! Have a system, whatever works for you.
Focus on just our curriculum.
Collaborate with your peers via the breakout rooms. Teaching others improves your understanding.
Keep doing CodeWars.
Rewatch the videos.
Redo the projects.
Complete every bit of suggested content.
Be able to communicate through writing or over the internet.
Be thorough in reading the course content and class communications.
Be active. Break up your schoolwork with walks and exercise. It will make a difference.
Be self-motivated and self-disciplined. You are in charge of your success.
Be willing to "speak-up". We don't know if you need help unless you tell us. You are not alone. Reach out.
Be aware that high-quality learning can take place without going to a traditional classroom.
Be aware of your motivations and make sure to keep them up.
Be committed to making it work.
